As part of our Get to Know Birmingham series, the BHM Connection Committee presents a panel discussion that provides insights into what triggers domestic violence, the impact and consequences of domestic violence, and what can be done to prevent domestic violence. The panelists will discuss some of the civic and legal services available to survivors of domestic violence and explain the challenges involved in protecting victims and holding offenders responsible for their actions. This program is presented in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
