Health Matters: Violence at Home #1802

A community health survey revealed that family trauma and violence are top concerns in Spokane. The county sees more domestic violence, child abuse & neglect and youth suicide per-capita than most in Washington. And recent statistics don’t reflect what’s happening since the start of the pandemic. In collaboration with community partners, we address the root causes of these conditions and offer help & solutions for victims.
