What Happens Here Doesn’t Stay Here

Mon, 01/14/2013 - 12:37 — bgoodrich

We’ve all heard the saying, “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!” or some version thereof.  Thinking about that topic got me to thinking about the shelter. Certainly there are aspects of shelter life about which that phrase could be said. What happens at the Women’s Shelter stays at the Women’s Shelter! More importantly though, I think so much of what happens at the Women’s Shelter does NOT stay there.

What it's All About

When people think of a shelter program, I can only wonder what they imagine. In their minds does it seem institutional? Does the problem of domestic violence seem abstract, as if it's something you see on TV. but never really come into contact with? How is the work done at our program viewed by the general public? Do they think our work makes a difference? Do they really understand what it's all about?
