#228 Hope in Hell: How to be a Support. With Carrie McManus

Episode Summary

Hope in Hell is a series introducing people who have experienced domestic violence and the organizations that help them find safety and healing.

Episode Notes

1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men experience domestic violence.
This violence is not just physical. And it’s an epidemic that can’t be ignored.
Alberta has the 3rd highest rate in Canada with Red Deer having the highest per capita rate in the whole country.It is close to home for all of us. 
If it isn’t affecting you directly, then you definitely know someone who is not safe.

In today’s episode I am joined by Carrie McManus, Director of Innovation & Programs with Sagesse to discuss how to effectively & safely support someone.
