Root For Each Other: A Branches Podcast
Root For Each Other: A Branches Podcast is a collaborative project of Branches Domestic Violence Shelter that is designed to shed light on issues of domestic violence that continue to oppress victims daily--these conversations will educate and empower listeners to recognize the insidious footprint of domestic violence in our communities as well as best practices for effective advocacy. With 1 in 4 women facing domestic violence in their life time, and communities of color and members of the LGBTQ+ community facing higher rates and more risk for reporting DV, there has never been a more urgent call to create not only trauma-informed services, but space for all of us to be members of a trauma-responsive community. This podcast can be your first step.

NVR in WV: The Future of Domestic Violence Prevention in the Mountain State
Domestic Violence prevention can sometimes seem like a far-fetched concept, no matter how much we dream of a world without violence. How do we eradicate a crime that is often unacknowledged, generational, and perpetrated behind closed doors? The answer is to be very creative and exceptionally smart, so we contacted one of the most brilliant and innovative advocates we know, Jessica Bender, of the WV Coalition Against Domestic Violence, to talk about the future of DV prevention in West Virginia.
Join us as we discuss the challenges and reward of prevention work and learn more about the Coalition's new project NVR in WV. For more info on the project, you can reach Jessica at jbender@wvcadv.org.
Branches Domestic Violence Shelter has been providing services to. victims of domestic violence in the Appalachian communities of Cabell, Lincoln, Mason, Putnam, and Wayne counties in West Virginia.
