Art helps a young girl regain her voice

Young mute girl speaks

Domestic violence penetrated into this young child's life and caused her to withdrawal into silence.  After several sessions building trust with Michele Foster working one on one she began to share.  From there words poured forth and this young life has been transformed. You would never know that months ago this giggling happy girl was sullen and shut down, choosing to live a selective mute life.

 Your gifts help us reach traumatized families and help them experience love and hope.

Powerful Messages for TV and sharing our cause

When Stew Birbrower, filmmaker and former Madison Avenue commercial creator, first explained this public service announcement (PSA) I jumped out of my seat as he pounded the table to demonstrate some of the effects he was planning to use.  He was delighted at my response.  Laughing, he remarked how people need to be impacted by the seriousness of domestic violence. It is an injustice that society needs to address, and we can no longer turn and ignore it.  Stew first drew out some vignettes and in time they came to be what you see in this video.  It proves that one man can make a difference.

we believe domestic violence is everyone's business

Please share with others, don't let domestic violence continue.
