•Linda Kirkpatrick (Executive Director)
The Community Welcome House is Coweta County's Counsel on Domestic Violence. We serve a diverse population. We acknowledge our residents are the experts on their life. We acknowledge that healing the scars of domestic violence may take a life time. The Community Welcome House is a non-profit 501 (C)3 program. Our program is sustained by financial and in-kind donations from those that understand and want to stop the violence. Our purpose is to stop the violence. We do this by education to the societal crime of domestic violence. It reaches out into the community. It effects the victim, the family, and the job place. It is a shameful silent crime. Our dating teens experience it. By education to the signs of an abusive personality, awareness is raised.
The children in a home where domestic violence lives are the silent victims. Domestic violence is generational. Education will stop the violence.
This house, rather stupidly and unwittingly, helped my ex-wive to ABUSE MY CHILDREN further by unfairly harboring the criminal for over two months just prior/post our late 2010 divorce (and I would LOVE t see it SHUT DOWN, just like all the other institutionalized "safe-house" abusers, who justify their existence only by an increase in conflict and total distortion of realities!
Saving the men who live in fear of domestic violence (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2011/03/17/saving-the-men-who-live-in-fear-115875-22994518/)
We’re all familiar with the terrifying ordeals of *battered wives, beaten, abused and humiliated in their own homes. But what *happens when the *situation is turned on its head? More than 40% of domestic violence victims are male, yet they often *struggle to find support and feel ashamed to look for help. But there is hope, thanks to the UK’s growing number of refuges exclusive to men.
Safe house *Kendal Lodge, a terraced house in Powys, Mid Wales, which was the first to open in 2006, has provided a home for more than 50 battered men over the years and children, too.
