This is definitely worth the listen! It is incredibly hard to share experiences such as these in such a public way. It can also be healing and helpful to others to know they are not alone. Thank you, Erin, for being amazing and brave and to Pursuit Podcast for sharing what domestic violence really is and helping to start that conversation.

Students immersed themselves in a domestic violence simulation led by Victim-Witness Assistance Services as part of the In Her Shoes® series. This experiential learning opportunity shed light on domestic violence dynamics, prompting deep reflection on navigating choices within abusive relationships.

TouroCOM student Gabby Howe shared her experience: “The simulation provided a powerful perspective on the challenges faced by victims and their families. It will undoubtedly enhance my ability to empathize and support patients who have undergone trauma like domestic violence.”

Also, thank you to our community partners who joined us in educating TouroCOM students. Their invaluable insights covered victim support, medical protocols, doctor-minor interactions, mandatory reporting, and advocacy resources. Together, we're working to create a more informed and supportive community.

We are back up and running!!! We apologize if you tried to message us or view our page in the last month or so - our fearless leader got a little too creative with the privacy settings and somehow blocked all US users, but we are still here! We hope you all have a great Easter Weekend!
