Speakers
Speakers are available from Turning Point to present information and training programs on domestic violence issues and agency services to your school, place of worship, organization, or business.
Turning Point also provides training programs on domestic violence to our social service agency staff in Lehigh and Northampton Counties. We organize and implement specific trainings for police officers, clergy and medical personnel as well as for other social service agency staff.
An Empty Place at the Table
Victims of domestic violence, regardless of race, religion or socio-economic status, leave an empty place at the table whenever they are forced to flee their home for safety or when their life is taken at the hand of an abuser. Our display of place settings for those murdered by violent partners is available to public and private businesses, schools, and other public spaces to foster awareness of the problem.
Each of these place settings represents a Lehigh Valley resident who was murdered by someone they loved. The empty spaces that their deaths have left in the lives of their families and friends can never be filled. Some of the place settings have been donated by surviving family members or friends.
We present this display to remember the victims and remind us that if we keep silent about domestic violence, it will go away...one life at a time.
Clothesline Project
For decades women have communicated with each other while hanging clothes, which is why this medium seems appropriate. The line is a way of airing societys "dirty laundry". Our display of T-shirts, created by either the family of a murdered victim or by a survivor of domestic violence, is available to public and private businesses, schools, and other public spaces to foster awareness of the problem.
The Clothesline symbolizes a lifeline to help survivors join together in support of each other. Each shirt provides a window into the painful life of a victim who survived violence or died as a result of it. Creating a shirt is a step in the healing process.
