QBC SIP Females Recognize Domestic Violence Awareness Month

October was Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and the women of the Sisterhood of Sobriety Therapeutic Community (State Intermediate Punishment program) at the Quehanna Motivational Boot Camp made posters to increase awareness.

The women designed informative posters that included various forms of abuse and resources such as hotline numbers to call.

They also included empowering quotes to help women recognize their worth and the need for healthy relationships.

Having experienced trauma as survivors of domestic violence, a number of TC members have shared their experiences in groups. For those who have not experienced domestic violence, it is a sober reminder of how involvement in an abusive relationship can be life-changing. The damaging effects of children witnessing domestic violence were discussed as well.
