Domestic Violence Statistics Shared at CCN Conference

Last October, on Purple Shirt Day, Creative Communication Network DVB&WPhotosponsored a Domestic Violence conference benefiting Hope’s Door and the New Beginning Center in Garland, Texas.

The conference was entitled “The State of Affairs in Domestic Violence,” and featured five expert speakers.  You can see the flier and other information on our Facebook page here.  Note – clicking on the flier image on the left side of the screen will enlarge the entire page, so you can see the programs and speakers we hosted:

We are strongly considering hosting a similar conference this fall.  I welcome any input or comments you wish to make about that.

Last year, in my Welcoming and Introductory remarks, I shared some of the then-current statistics that were published by the U.S. Department of Justice.  If you were not with us that day, I thought you might be interested in perusing these:

Please Wear a Purple Shirt to the October 7 Book Synopsis

You don’t have to buy one, and we will let you in if you do not have one. But, if it is possible for you to wear a purple shirt to the October 7th First Friday Book Synopsis at the Dallas Park City Club, that would help us commemorate our charity sponsorship that day.

Our charity for the book synopsis this month is our October 21 half-day seminar, “The State of Affairs in Domestic Violence,” benefiting the New Beginning Center and Hope’s Door, which are agencies dedicated to assist affected victims and families.  Creative Communication Network President Karl J. Krayer is the host and moderator for the conference.

October 21 is “Purple Shirt Day,” and wearing a purple shirt to our book synopsis, or on that day is one way to honor the victims and families who have suffered with domestic violence.

You can click HERE for complete information about the October 21 seminar, including a preview of the program and speakers.
