Mandy Alto from Advocates for Family Peace on Domestic Violence

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.  Mandy Alto, the Executive Director of Advocates for Family Peace, joins John Bauer on the Thursday Morning Show to talk about the state of domestic violence in northern Minnesota.  With the surge in Covid-19 cases limiting personal movement and confining people to their homes, domestic violence is sometimes called the pandemic within a pandemic because of the potential increase in intimate partner violence. 

Mandy and John discuss the support and help offered by Advocates for Family Peace.  They encourage people to educate themselves on domestic violence and to be aware of it happening around them.  If you know someone who is struggling with domestic violence be kind, helpful and understanding.

If you or someone you know needs help call Advocates for Family Peace at 800-909-8336.
