SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – In our ongoing effort this month to Unmask Domestic Violence, we devoted the last half hour of Thursday’s First News at 4 to leading the discussion on what domestic violence looks like in our communities and how all of us can play a part in addressing it.
Our panelists:
- Karen Alston, a domestic violence survivor and nationally certified domestic violence advocate
- Detective Constance Hogan with the Savannah Police Department’s Family Violence Unit
- Pastor Candace Hardnett, chair of Proud Savannah, the city’s LGBTQ task force
- Mary Jo Horton, the Behavioral Health Manager at Memorial Health and co-host of our Wellness Wednesday segments on First News at 4
