The month of May is Domestic and Family Violence Prevention awareness month. As part of this important issue, Michelle Royes from DVConnect came on the show for an interview. Michelle shared the resources available for people experiencing domestic and family violence through DVConnect. It is a State-wide service offering safety for those experience violence in their homes. Women and children are at greatest risk with predominantly men using violence in relationships.
