INTERVIEW

Safe Haven Ministries has a simple, but monumental goal to End Domestic Violence.  Through supporting victims of domestic violence with shelter services, prevention efforts through education, and empowering women, the local nonprofit is making strides to that end.

Prevention and Education Director Tara Aday is in the Catalyst Radio studio to explain some of the issues surrounding domestic violence in the current culture and preview services through Safe Haven, which also has a special focus of addressing the intersection of faith and of domestic abuse.

Aday will also talk about some upcoming events, including the Feb. 18 Cameron Blake album release concert that is a fundraiser for Safe Haven Ministries.
