25TH ANNUAL INDEPENDENCE HOUSE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
AWARENESS MONTH COMMUNITY BREAKFAST PROGRAM

Friday, October 3, 2024

8:00 AM – 10:00 AM

Margaritaville Resort, Hyannis, MA

Our 25th Annual Independence House Domestic Violence Awareness Month Community Breakfast Program is fast approaching. We invite you to join us for this year’s program as we discuss the impact of domestic violence on individuals, families, and communities. We will be deeply inspired by our keynote speaker, a survivor and a national expert on domestic violence who survived a shooting by her intimate partner. Her story of resilience and courage is a testament to the human spirit. We will also hear from a survivor about her journey to healing in the aftermath of domestic violence. We will also recognize and remember those who have died from domestic violence homicides in the past year in Massachusetts. Register soon, as this event reaches capacity each year.

Guest Speaker
Katrina Cooke-Brownlee
“Shot 10 times by her ex, Katrina miraculously survived and turned her pain into purpose.”
A retired police officer, author, and national expert on domestic violence. Founder of Can’t Be Silenced, she mentors young women and advocates for survivors nationwide.
