An evening with Rachael Denhollander: Speaker and Advocate
Join attorney, author, and advocate Rachael Denhollander as she explains the dynamics commonly found in abuse situations. Rachael will offer valuable insight into how the individuals within a community, far too often, contribute to the empowerment of perpetrators and compound the wounding of victims. Often, the end result is the devastation of an entire community. Learn from her expertise and experience how to build safer, more faithful, and more accountable churches and communities for ourselves and our children.
