September - A Month of Remembering

It seems as though September is a month of remembance.  Of course, we all remember 9/11/2001 as the day that America changed.  Families lost friends and loved ones.  It became more difficult to get on an airplane.  Our country's sensitivity heightened about where we were and who was around us.  It was the beginning of two wars where thousands of our young men and women died, many more were wounded physically or emotionally or both.

 And on that first day of September, I lost a daughter, not to an act of terror against America, but to an act of terror in her own home.  Yes, 10 years have passed.  There have been weddings, divorces, a baby born, holidays, birthdays in our family, and about 12,000 deaths in this country due to domestic violence.
As we approach the end of September, we are getting ready for a very busy time at Fix the Hurt, a time for educating and raising awareness through trainings, speaking engagements and five performances of "Domestic Violence, The Musical?" and five performances of CONTROL.ASSAULT.DELETE. 

We are grateful for the opportunity to address over 4,000 students in the East Valley of Arizona, the KAW Nation in Oklahoma and in Hobbs, NM.  We must continue to educate our young people about healthy relationships and the red flags they must watch for as they begin to select their friends and development boyfriend/girlfriend relationships.

We hope that you with familiarize yourselves with our upcoming event dates and if you or someone you know are near one of the presentations we have scheduled, that you will join us and promote awareness against domestic and dating violence.
