Talking Domestic Violence — Safe at Home, Part 2
Description
In our last episode, we introduced the Tennessee Safe at Home program. Today, we go deeper.
Host Dean Hinton continues his conversation with Stacy Scruggs, Program Coordinator for Tennessee's Safe at Home Address Confidentiality Program. In this episode, they tackle three questions that many people have about the program.
First, they talk about how to enroll if you live outside of a big city. If you are in a rural area, signing up for Safe at Home can feel harder. Stacy explains how people in smaller communities across Tennessee can still access the program and get the protection they need.
Second, they talk about co-parenting with Safe at Home. If you share children with an abusive partner, keeping your address private while still meeting your parenting responsibilities can be complicated. Stacy walks through how the program can help in those situations.
Third, they talk about enrolling other people in Safe at Home. Can you help a family member or friend sign up? Stacy explains who can be enrolled and how that process works.
If you missed Part 1, we recommend listening to Episode 5 first. But you can also start here.
You deserve to feel safe. And there are people ready to help.
