Pregnancy is often a starting point for domestic violence, and I agree that we have to feel comfortable talking about the issue. In Haliburton we have someone from the YWCA who comes to group once a month -- sometimes she'll give a presentation but often she'll hang out in the kitchen, help make food, talk with the moms and once they are comfortable with her, they will often disclose and see her privately for counselling.

My name is Maureen and I work at Connections. I do the CPNP program for Lanark County. I also work for a Womens Shelter. I have found that many of the participants I work with at Connections are also involved with the shelter- either the residence or the outreach office. I wonder at times how many women are living with this and we miss it because we don't talk about it or we don't know how to talk about it. I think it would be valuable to have a video on "spotting violence in the home" or "Ways to talk about domestic violence" etc. Many women live hidden in this situation, and statistics show women who are pregnant are even more at risk ( 1 in 6 pregnant women). Women do want to share their story - we just need to ask them the right way. Thank you, Maureen Hampton Hello!
