HopeHouse

From the Front Line of Domestic Violence is Hope House CEO MaryAnne Metheny's weekly blog.
Every Wednesday, MaryAnne will educate you and raise your awareness of the issues surrounding domestic violence, and discuss what Hope House does to help break the cycle of violence. She'll also give her perspective on current hot DV topics pulled from the headlines, both locally and nationally.
