    A Survivor's Impact with Celena Roby Henry

    A Survivor's Impact with Celena Roby Henry

    Legislative session is in full swing here in the Mountain State, and we are honored this month to bring you the story of Celena Roby Henry in celebration of her story of survival and the positive change she made for survivors in West Virginia. Public policy can often be confusing or even disheartening, and it can be daunting for both survivors and advocates to try and communicate needs to lawmakers. Join us as we talk to Celena about her journey of empowerment and what she sees as emerging needs for people experiencing domestic violence in our communities.

    Human Trafficking Advocacy Services with Katie Spriggs

    Human Trafficking Advocacy Services with Katie Spriggs

    January is National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, and, while we've talked about the evolution of this kind of victimization before, we had yet to delve into the specifics of how advocacy programs serve survivors of trafficking. Join us as we chat with friend and colleague, Katie Spriggs Brown, Executive Director of sister program, Eastern Panhandle Empowerment Center.

    "In Conjunction, Together:" The Continuum of Care with Brittany Ochoa

    "In Conjunction, Together:" The Continuum of Care with Brittany Ochoa

    Domestic Violence services are not often thought of in the realm of "homeless service providers," but it's actually one of the most important things we do, given fleeing abuse is federally-recognized as a leading cause for people to experience homelessness.

    In this episode, we're highlighting our place within the local homeless service collaborative, The Cabell-Wayne Continuum of Care, as we speak with Brittany Ochoa, the Executive Director of Harmony House and the C-W CoC. Join us as we talk barriers to services, the Housing First model, and how our work together strengthens the community.

    For more information on the Cabell-Wayne CoC, check out the website and follow the Continuum on Facebook!

    To reach Brittany, you can call (304)523-2764, ext. 101, or email her at Brittany.Ochoa@harmonyhousewv.com

    You can learn more about the Housing First model in our previous episode, "Safe Housing for Survivors."

    Self-Care During Spooky Season

    Self-Care During Spooky Season

    It's officially spooky season! Here at Branches, we're united in our love for Halloween but somewhat divided on how spooky culture makes us feel. For some, it's a wondrous, magical time of our favorite decorations and nostalgic movies, while, for others, it can be just one more way the world seems scary. What do you think?

    Join us for a conversation about how to prioritize self-care during spooky season, whether that's diving head first into the holiday or changing up your emotional safety plan for yourself and the survivors in your life. Available wherever you stream your podcasts or at branchesdvs.org/podcasts.

    When your relationship changes overnight with Bianca Pierce

    When your relationship changes overnight with Bianca Pierce

    Bianca was excited to start a new chapter with her husband after finding out she was pregnant. The couple had always spoken about children and having been together for years, it felt like the right next step. But after giving birth, Bianca began to see a side to her husband that she had never, in the 6 years they'd been together, ever see.

    A story of resilience and survival, Bianca shares how quickly families can change and how it is hard to ever fully know someone.
