Domestic Violence Awareness Month Community Breakfast

A special breakfast event to commemorate Domestic Violence Awareness Month will include a special preview of the PBS-produced documentary Telling Amy's Story, which follows the timeline of a victim of domestic violence.

After the screening, a community panel, featuring Ventura County domestic violence advocates, CLU professors and law enforcement officials, will engage in a discussion of the challenges to and solutions for domestic violence prevention in our county. CLU's innovative Intimate Partner Violence Prevention Program will also be discussed.

Mindy Puopolo, Psy.D., Program Director for the Intimate Partner Violence Prevention Program at CLU, will moderate the discussion with panelists Caroline Prijatel Sutton, Executive Director of the Coalition to End Family Violence; Morris Eagle, Ph.D., CLU Clinical Supervisor and adjunct professor of psychology; Catherine Duggan, Director of the Ventura County District Attorney's Office Victims' Assistance Program; Rick Vasquez, Senior Detective, Oxnard Police Department Domestic Violence Investigation Team; and Anthony Wold, Supervising Prosecutor, Ventura County District Attorney's Office.

Admission is free, but reservations are required. CLU's Intimate Partner Violence Prevention Program is funded by Verizon.

Guests are encouraged to bring no-longer-used wireless phones and accessories to the event to support victims of domestic violence. HopeLine is a Verizon Wireless' phone recycling and re-use program that supports domestic violence prevention agencies.
