Join Monroe County NOW for our April Chapter meeting on Thursday, April 24, at 7pm via Zoom! This month we will feature the Sojourn House, which exists to defend, restore, and liberate women who have been exploited and trafficked. We will welcome Program Director Caitlyn Graber, who will start off with briefly sharing what Sojourn House is and who the organization serves. Caitlyn will give a presentation on how trauma, such as sexual assault and other forms of abuse, impact the body and brain. Afterwards, there will be time for discussion and questions for Caitlyn. The Q&A will be facilitated by MC NOW's newest Chair Pia Martin, who also works at the Sojourn House. Let's learn about this important community resource and find out ways we can get involved.
