Friendship Home Partners with 10/11 News for Domestic Violence Awareness Campaign

During Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October, Friendship Home of Lincoln (FriendshipHome.org) is partnering with 10/11 News for a 5-part series, “Empowering freedom from domestic violence” to bring awareness to domestic violence and Friendship Home’s mission. This news series is set to run October 12–16 and will cover a different mission-related topic each night on the evening news.

In Lancaster County, one in four women has experienced domestic violence at some point in their life. Through crisis services, emergency shelter, and transitional housing, Friendship Home helps victims and their children gain insight into their trauma and guides them to use their strengths to rebuild their lives—free from domestic violence. Watch this powerful series to learn more about Friendship Home’s services, including the impact domestic violence has on women’s health and the children that experience and witness this abuse.

Friendship Home wants to assure those in Lancaster County that they are continuing to provide crisis services, emergency shelter, and transitional housing to victims of domestic violence and their children. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, call the Friendship Home crisis line (402) 437-9302. It’s staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. For more information, or if you miss the 10/11 News series, please visit FriendshipHome.org.
