Domestic Violence Crisis Center - CT American Legion Foundation - Greater Bridgeport Symphony

Oct 02, 2022, 12:15 PM

October is here and with it comes National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. So we're launching a weekly series to help promote greater awareness on the subject, as well as reminding victims about the wealth of resources and support professionals out there ready to help you get your life back and stay safe. Today we'll learn about the Domestic Violence Crisis Center (DVCC), and how they are focusing on the aspect of financial abuse. Is someone controlling you with their financial capabilities? If so, tune in.

Then we'll chat with two very dedicated representatives who were instrumental in forming the Connecticut American Legion Foundation. We'll discuss the important civic-minded programs the foundation is already supporting, as well as explaining how you or your employer or community group can get behind building and expanding many other American Legion sponsored initiatives.

And we'll close on a musical note with the director of the Greater Bridgeport Symphony, which is in the process of choosing a new conductor while continuing to bring the beauty of symphonic music to folks throughout the region, while exposing school-age audiences to the symphony and myriad possible future careers in musical and cultural arts organizations.
