Join us for the 17th Annual A Walk in Their Shoes, an education and awareness event on October 3rd, 10 AM, at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC.
Hosted by the Roanoke Valley Violence Prevention Council, a standing committee of the Council of Community Services, this event brings our community together to raise awareness, remember victims, and support survivors.
The day will feature educational sessions, a remembrance ceremony and walk, concluding with survivor stories. A resource fair will also be available for participants to connect with local services offering support to those affected by domestic violence.
This event is open to all. Students studying or interested in healthcare, forensic science, social work, law enforcement, or legal fields are especially encouraged to attend.
