Swoveland speaks at domestic violence roundtable
The Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Roundtable will host a discussion on “Reframing Masculinity: Vulnerability and Responsibility” on Tuesday, Jan. 12 at 7 p.m. in the Community Meeting Room of the Goodnow Library (21 Concord Road, Sudbury). Featured speaker Matthew Swoveland will discuss ways to help boys and young men own both their strength and their vulnerability. Matthew is deputy director at The Second Step, where he leads programming to reach young survivors of domestic abuse, build their resiliency, and create bright futures. Previously, he was among the first men to take calls on the 24-hour hotline for the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center.
The session is a follow-on to the 2014 workshop entitled “What Should a Violence Prevention Program Look Like in Our Communities?” The program is free and open to the public.
