Since March of this year we are living in a world of new threats, and learning how to navigate them. The impacts to our home, work and school lives have been dramatic, and many of us are still learning how to incorporate these new normals into our daily routines. For some people the impacts of COVID-19 have been much more significant. The terms “quarantine”, “self-isolation”, “lock down”, and “social distancing”, are words that take on different meanings for people who experience IPV (Intimate Partner Violence).
A Lovely Pause is dedicated to serving those who are healing from trauma by offering resources, community education and awareness, coping skills, and support through workshops, support groups, volunteer opportunities, and financial assistance.
