Once again, Survivor Resource Center is hosting their Dancing for the Stars fundraiser this Saturday evening (Sept 30th) at the Fischer Theater. Survivor Resource Center Executive Director Marcie Sheridan and Director of Violence Prevention Education and Marketing Kris Bell recently joined Laura Williams, on 1490 WDAN’s Community Connection program.
Sheridan reminded everyone about their work with survivors of sexual assault, as well as the significant others and families of the victims. Sheridan says it’s a survivor centered operation, focusing on individual needs. But she also pointed out, they have certain laws to follow as well.
AUDIO: Of course, with children, we’re mandated reporters. And we know that in society we have to help protect children. We also try to help them regain control of their lives as well, throughout that process.
