Local Group Wins National Award For Work With Abusive Men
Women and children who are the victims of domestic violence often receive resources to help them heal. But what about the abusive men in this equation? That’s where the Alma Center comes in. They treat abusive men as trauma victims and try to end the cycle of domestic violence. A few weeks ago the Alma Center held an open house to celebrate a national award they received, the Celebrating Solutions Award. The Alma Center won this award because of their innovative work healing abusive men and breaking the intergenerational cycle of violence. We speak to the founder of the Alma Center about their work and this award.
