This week we are speaking with Aaron Newman Program Manager of the BIP at Family Crisis Center. Aaron will share the rich history of his work in the movement to end domestic violence by working with those who perpetrate the violence. Aaron has spent the majority of his career serving his community.  Aaron began serving his community when he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps two months after graduating High School.  While serving in the Marine Corps Aaron gained the skills and traits to become a compassionate leader, instructor, and mentor with the desire to help others.  Aaron continued to serve his community at his local senior center where he served and advocated for older adults to enrich and improve their quality of life, which led Aaron to become an Elder Abuse Advocate at the Family Crisis Center.  While at the Family Crisis Center Aaron like many others working in the Domestic Violence field serves and advocates in multiple areas and capacities for those affected by abuse and violence.  Aaron now facilitates Battering Intervention groups for both men and women.  Aaron’s desire to serve and help others continues as he educates and serves those in his groups with compassion and empathy.  If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, there is help available.
