“Hidden in Plain Sight: Domestic Violence Awareness” continues at the First Parish in Lincoln on Wednesday, Feb. 21 and Wednesday, March 17 from 7–8:30 p.m. in the Parish House (14 Bedford Rd.). This series, which began on January 23, is designed to raise awareness of domestic violence and abuse in Lincoln and the surrounding communities. Ministerial Intern Terry Cummings will lead the program, along with Lauren Montanaro, community engagement specialist with REACH Beyond Domestic Violence.
At the February 21 session, participants will assess different situations and learn about the type of skills needed to respond to the situations appropriately. For those interested in becoming a domestic violence volunteer, this class will provide a preview of an aspect of the training program offered by REACH and similar organizations.
On March 27, First Parish will host a vigil to honor and remember survivors of domestic violence and abuse, as well as those who support people in need of help to cope with their situations. The vigil will include prayer, shared reflections, music and song. The meetings are open to all and are free of charge. To register, please contact Terry at terry@fplincoln.org.
