How to Recognize Domestic Violence

Dating violence, stalking, and domestic violence are serious issues that can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender.

This seminar, presented by the Office of Angelina “Angel” Colonneso, Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller for Manatee County and HOPE Family Services, brings together a panel of experts about domestic violence resources, law enforcement, and the court process to empower participants to become strong advocates against domestic violence.
 

The panelists bring a wealth of experience in domestic violence, from filling out restraining orders and prosecuting cases to providing shelter and resources for people in need.
 

Following the presentation, we invite attendees to stay for a free one-hour self-defense demonstration by Olivera Jiu Jitsu & Fitness Academy.
