Let's Talk About: Domestic Violence with Judith Skillman

Let's talk about our mental and emotional health! Folio: The Seattle Athenaeum and Companis initiate a series of community conversations to facilitate dialogue on mental health and emotional well being.

Through these community conversations, Folio aims to connect people and provide a platform for discussions around mental and emotional wellbeing and the ongoing challenges of the stigma surrounding it while exploring recovery and community healing. Each conversation will feature a guest sharing their lived experience and a conversation with the audience. These community conversations are free and open to all.

Our guest in January is Judith Skillman, award winning poet, survivor and co-editor of the anthology  When Home Is Not Safe: Writings on Domestic Verbal, Emotional and Physical Abuse, a collection of poems, memoirs, and creative nonfiction pieces collected that tell of real incidents of abuse, as well as of those who left destructive and unsalvageable relationships.
