Description
Pops sits down and talks with two wonderful women who a part of a much needed organization in our community, The Center at 909.
A
Hey
city
council
pop
Lawrence,
here
with
another
show
of
focus
on
health
I
always
do
a
teaser,
but
you
know
it's
not
going
to
be
fair
to
you
all
to
even
guess,
because
this
is
this
is
something
that
I
have
never
done.
So
it's
a
teaser,
but
it's
not
a
tease
and
we'll
see
you
on
the
other
end
of
this
commercial
I.
A
Welcome
back
to
focus
on
health,
it
would
not
have
been
fair
to
you
all
and
I
like
to
play.
Fair
I
would
like
to
cheat,
but
I've
never
had
this
organization
on
and
to
be
perfectly
honest
with
you,
I
should
have
they
have
a
lot
of
good
information
and
I'm
going
to
let
both
these
young
ladies
introduce
themselves
look
into
that
camera
right.
A
There
talk
about
their
organization
just
introduce
themselves
and
then
we're
going
to
get
in
some
really
really
really
good
information
that
you
really
need
to
know
about,
because
every
last
one
of
us
have
been
affected
or
know
of
someone
who's
been
affected,
that
their
organization
can
take
care
of,
and
so
I'm
going
to
start
with
this
young
lady
tomorrow
right
here,
Kyle,
were
you
looking
there
and
tell
everybody
your
name
who
you
are
and
who
you're
the
director
of
and
then
we'll
go
to
Abby.
Thank.
C
A
F
A
F
A
C
A
B
C
Free
okay
to
provide
free
and
confidential
counseling
advocacy,
support
and
referral
services
for
anyone
impacted
by
sexual
violence,
Dating,
Violence,
stalking
and
human
trafficking.
The
center
empowers
families
and
communities
by
providing
awareness
and
training
toward
the
prevention
of
gender-based
violence
and.
A
And
tell
a
little
bit
about
why
this
is
extremely
important
because,
as
you
very
well
know,
we
know
of
someone
who
has
been
through
this
experience
right
right
and
how
long
have
you
been?
And
this
is
the
thing
that
got
me
as
much
as
I
get
around
Columbus.
When
you
told
me
how
long
you
all
had
been
there
and
in
fact
my
daughter
volunteered
for
you
all
years
ago,
but
tell
our
viewing
audience
just
how
long
that
that
you've
been
there.
If
this
has
been
right.
C
So
we've
been
around
for
for
over
40
years
as
an
agency,
that's
huge
we're,
not
new.
The
names
have
changed
right,
but
but
what
we
do
is
Provide
support
to
anyone.
Anyone
it
doesn't
have
to
be
the
Survivor
anyone
impacted
by
sexual
violence,
Dating
Violence,
stalking,
trafficking
and,
of
course,
domestic
violence
or
intimate
partner,
violence,
overlaps
oftentimes
with
those
things,
and
so
they
can
come
to
us
for
help
as
well.
Now
you
mentioned
they
don't
have
to
be
what
now
they
don't
have
to
be
the
Survivor
or
the
victim
of
the
crime.
Oh
explain
that.
A
F
So
this
is
a
list
of
a
few
of
our
services.
Our
services
are
extensive
and
they
are
tailored
to
the
individual
who
comes
to
us.
Some
of
our
most
popular
services
are
that
24-hour
hotline,
which
I
can
go
ahead
and
give
you
the
phone
number
and
I'll
we'll
give
it
again
later,
but
that
24-hour
local
hotline
number
is.
F
F
Yeah,
what
is
all
this
made
for
so
medical
advocacy,
so
our
Advocates
report
to
our
local
hospitals
when
a
victim
presents
there.
The
hospital
knows
to
give
us
a
call
on
that
hotline
and
we
show
up
and
we
provide
that
victim
or
Survivor,
with
whatever
information
they
need
and
with
the
choices
that
face
them,
and
then
we
assist
throughout
the
entire
experience
at
the
medical
site
they're
at,
but
we
also
now
provide
on-site
forensic
medical
exams
at
our
Center,
so
some
people
know
those
as
sexual
assault
kits
or
rape
kits.
F
But
it's
a
forensic
medical
exam
that
we
do
to
assist
in
the
investigation
and
the
interesting
thing
about
these
medical
exams
are
sexual
assault
kits
is
that
you
can
have
a
kit
and
still
not
actually
make
a
report.
So
let's
say
you
want
a
little
more
time
to
decide
if
you're
going
to
make
a
report.
Let's
say
it's
someone,
you
know
it's
a
family
member,
it's
whatever!
It's
an
odd
situation!
It's
your
choice!
F
If
you're
over
the
age
of
18
in
Georgia,
you
can
choose
to
make
that
report
or
not,
and
so
we
can
perform
those
kids
and
we
work
with
all
of
our
local
law
enforcements
to
hand
those
off.
So
they
can
go
in
storage
and
that
victim
can
have
time
to
decide
what
they're
going
to
do
about
reporting
or
not
reporting.
A
Okay,
so
this
is
such
an
important
topic.
Yes,
let's
run
through
a
scenario
if
I'm,
assaulted
and
I
have
a
choice,
normally
the
individuals
that
this
came
up
after
your
presentation,
so
I
can
call
the
police
department
and
then
I
will
go
to
the
elected
emergency
room
and
they
would
do
the
they
went
through
the
questions
and
and
go
through
the
medical
and
and
whatever
there
or
I
could
call
you
and,
and
the
reason
I'm
going
through.
A
This
is
because
this
is
a
person's
violated
just
as
much
emotionally
as
physically
and
so
I've,
been
through
your
organizations
and
I've.
Seen
just
how
warm
and
comforting
and
private
now
going
to
the
emergency
room
is
good.
I
tell
everybody
that
this
the
services
that
all
the
hospitals
are
great
but
for
part
if
we
wanted
privacy
coming
to
you
talk
us
through
that
experience
for
the
person
if
they
choose.
F
Right
so
if
an
individual
wants
to
call
us
first,
they
absolutely
can
and
then
they
can
come
to
our
Center.
We
can
do
it
over
the
phone,
whatever
they
want.
It's
all
about
Choice
when
this
situation
happens,
all
of
your
power
and
your
choices
are
taken
away,
and
so
our
goal
is
to
give
as
much
of
that
back
as.
F
So
if
someone
calls
us,
they
can
come
to
the
center
and
we
can
talk
it
through
and
then
call
law
enforcement,
if
that's
what
they
want
sure
and
get
them
involved
and
then
do
the
medical
exam
at
our
Center.
If
again,
if
that's
what
they
want
and
then
we
can
talk
through
our
follow-up
Services
of
whatever
they
may
need,
whatever
their
family
may.
C
B
A
A
A
Be
honest
with
you
when
I
went
there,
that
was
such
a
warm
and
cozy
and
it
is,
and
and
I
personally
does
feel
right
and
I
I,
really
like
the
fact
that
you
are
having
a
person
given
that
individual
control
again,
because
it
was
something
like
that.
You
just
feel
that
you've
lost
all
control.
You
feel
violated
emotionally
and
physically,
so
it
is
a
good
thing
to
let
them
know.
You
are
in
you're
in
charge,
you're
in
control.
F
A
D
A
Is
which
is
extremely
important
and
the
contrast
is
going
through
something
like
that
is
very
serene
and
then
being
someplace
else,
where
a
lot
of
people
are
running
around
people,
all
the
noise
and
whatever
it's
it's
really
comforting
for
the
individual,
yes,
proud
of
it
very
proud
of
it,
and
you
all
should
be.
Yes,
it's
a
viable
service
next
slide.
Please.
F
C
This
is
much
more
comfortable
than
than
being
in
an
emergency
room
and
we
have
and
you'll
see
in
the
next
slide
as
well,
our
well.
Actually,
we
don't
have
the
coordinator's
office,
but
my
same
coordinator
has
has
created
this
beautiful
space,
comfortable
space,
but
very
efficient
space.
We
have
phenomenal
equipment
that
helps
in
the
collection
of
that
that
evidence
right,
and
so
that's
really.
A
B
A
I
was
there
and
and
I'll
be
honest
with
it?
It's
very
warm,
that's
it's
very
warm.
It's
it's
very
unintimidating
is
is
the
word.
I
was
looking
for
versus
other
areas
where
a
person
will
go
and
a
person
does
need
to
feel
private.
Yes,
they
do
need
to
feel
warm
and
fuzzy
yeah
and
and
this
when
I
walked
into
this
room,
it
was
a
vast
difference
from
some
of
the
areas
that
I've
seen.
F
Well
and
I
think
a
key
component
of
having
our
own
medical
Suite
is
that
it
that
that
privacy
can't
be
understated
when
you're
in
an
emergency
room.
There
are
countless
people
in
and
out
of
the
room,
the
doctor,
multiple
nurses,
the
triage
individuals,
the
the
ones
taking
down
your
your
name
and
address,
and
and
whatever
else
that
anyone
can
be
in
and
out
of
that
room
at
any
time
right.
But
with
our
space
there's
one
nurse
and
there's
one
Advocate.
A
Not
feeling
good
you're
not
rushed
a
lot
of
times,
they
have
to
get
back
and
do
things
right
and
I
want
to
once
we
get
to
the
end
of
my
slides,
there's
certain
things
that
I
want
you
to
reiterate
and
and
what
you
just
got
really
saying
now,
because
I'm
trying
to
say
first
of
all,
if
there
was
no,
if
you
were
not
in
existence,
something
like
that
is
necessary
because
evidence
needs
to
be
all.
This
is
very,
very,
very
crucial
and
there's
nothing
bad
about
that.
Now.
A
I
want
to
contrast
this
with
the
fact
that
there's
the
one
thing
that
the
person
feels
is
is
they
need
to
feel
warm
and
fuzzy.
You
need
to
have
somebody
wrap
their
arms
around
them
and
as
a
father,
walking
into
that
when
I
walk
through
with
Kyle
I
felt
that
if
my,
if
any
of
my
daughters
were
in
a
situation,
I
would
want
them
to
be
in
something
that's
more.
B
A
C
Part
of
it
too,
it's
like
we've
said
repeatedly
is
that
it's
the
survivor's
choice
and
if
they
have
the
accurate
information
which
they
might
not
get
from
somebody
else
out
there
right.
If
they
had
accurate
information,
then
they
can
make
those
decisions
that
they
choose
to
make
right
and
The
Advocate
can
support
them.
So
this
I
say
it
all
the
time.
This
is
their
process
right.
It's
not
anybody
else's.
C
F
F
So
this
is
our
support
group
space,
another
of
our
services,
our
Support
Services
after
the
fact-
and
we
can
provide
these
to
anyone-
whether
it
happened
recently
or
whether
it
happened
20
or
30
years
ago,
whether
it
happened
here
or
it
happened
in
another
state
or
country.
These.
These
follow-up
services
are
for
anyone
ever
impacted
and.
A
D
A
C
A
F
C
A
C
That,
oh
gotcha
State
Certified.
Yes,
so
that's
important,
because
that
means
that
the
state
of
Georgia
recognizes
us
and
that
there
are
certain
standards
that
we
have
to
comply
with
and
so
you're
going
to
get
the
best
practices.
It's
going
to
be
victim.
Centered
victim,
Center,
sure
trauma
informed.
There.
A
A
G
This
ever
happened
to
you
and
you
didn't
know
who
to
call
it's
simple:
dial,
311
or
706-653-4000
Columbus
311
Citizens,
Service
Center.
Our
goal
is
to
provide
complete,
accurate
and
timely
information
to
Citizens
and
employees
regarding
complaints,
inquiries
and
requests
for
information,
Columbus,
311,
Citizens,
Service
Center,
your
direct
link
to
City
service.
A
A
C
A
C
A
C
C
If
you
have
support
and
that's
what
we
can
provide
and
so
again,
if
the
Survivor
chooses
not
to
reach
out,
it
might
be
their
family
member,
their
parent,
their
partner
could
be
their
children
right,
and
so
those
are
the
numbers
that
that
we
really
want
to
kind
of
pull
in
is
have
those
people
reach
out
to
us
and
we
don't
turn
anybody
away.
So
if
you
don't
know
what
do
you
do?
You
asked.
D
A
I,
like
the
fact
that
you're
saying
I'm
gonna,
have
you
repeat
again,
but
I
just
want
to
bring
up
a
point
why
this
is
important
to
get
this
out
so
that
people
will
know
because,
when
I,
when
I
came
up
there,
they
looked
around
I
said
what
is
it
is
this
you
said
how
about
the
community
and
I
didn't
know
so
this.
That
is
why
this
is
so
very
important
and
the
number
785
that's
staggering,
and
the
sad
part
is
there's
more
because
many
individuals
who
choose
not
to
report
right
right.
B
B
A
Then
to
Abby's
Point,
sometimes
individuals
think
they
can
deal
with
it
on
their
own
and
that's
why
maybe
for
years,
and
but
it
compounds
it
it
it's
in
their
relationships,
they
can't
run
away
from
it
it's
emotionally
to
them.
The
the
really
serious
part
is
that
the
physical
trauma
will
heal
more
than
sooner
than
the
emotional
trauma
does.
A
F
A
F
Little
bit
about
sure
yeah,
so
we
have
a
wonderful
team
of
volunteer.
Advocates
and
part-time
Advocates
are
I'm
so
proud
of
our
team
of
Advocates.
They
are
knowledgeable,
they're,
excellent
and
they're
compassionate
individuals,
and
so
they
all
went
through
our
in-house
training.
Anyone
who's
interested
in
this
work
can
reach
out
and
get
information
and
find
out
if
they're
a
good
fit.
You
want
to
know
if
it's
something
that
works
for
you
and
that
you
can
handle
well,
and
so
we
welcome
individuals
to
reach
out,
and
then
we
will
train
you.
F
It's
a
30-hour
in-house
training
that
Kyle
leads
along
with
other
community
members.
It's
a
very
enriching
experience
and
from
there
our
volunteers,
it's
a
super,
hands-on
experience.
They
get
to
help
us
respond
to
that
24-hour
hotline.
They
help
us
answer
the
phone
and
they
help
us
respond
in
person
to
the
hospitals
to
the
center.
When
someone
reaches
out
and
it's
an
acute
incident
that
needs
all
the
medical
attention
and
the
whole
process,
our
volunteer
Advocates
are
so
well
trained
that
they
help.
Even
at
that
level,
that's.
A
D
F
So
we
mentioned
already
that
there's
a
huge
overlap
in
sexual
violence
with
domestic
violence,
and
so
the
term
ipv
or
intimate
partner.
Violence
has
risen
in
recent
years
to
kind
of
Encompass
that
a
little
bit
better,
and
so
the
CDC
actually
declares
that
intimate
partner,
violence
or
sexual
violence
is
a
National
Health
crisis.
So
this
is
something
that
the
entire
public
should
be
aware
of
and
should
be
concerned
about.
It
impacts
all
of
us
like
Kyle
mentioned
it
impacts
businesses
and
the
way
we
function
in
our
jobs.
F
B
B
F
Survivors,
you
don't
have
to
be
a
sexual
assault,
Survivor
to
be
supportive
of
sexual
assault
efforts
and
sexual
assault.
Survivors
I
would
love
to
just
rip
that
stigma
off
and
say
anyone
can
volunteer.
Anyone
can
donate,
anyone
can
get
involved
with
our
Center
and
and
you
don't
have
to
be
directly
impacted
because
it
impacts
our
whole
society.
It
impacts
how
we
function
together.
Right.
F
C
C
We
are
fortunate
to
have
Hope
Harbor
in
our
community
as
the
domestic
violence,
shelter,
yes,
and
we
work
closely
with
them
and
so
again,
when
we
talk
about
choice,
we
will
give
survivors
the
choice
as
to
to
who
they
would
like
to
work
with.
If
it's
a
domestic
violence
case,
and
they
call
us,
we
will
offer
that
other
service
to
them.
Sure.
D
C
A
Awesome
and
it's
good
to
to
be
I'm,
going
to
be
honest
with
you.
This
community
is
such
a
a
warm
community
and
all
the
organizations
that
that
work
hand
in
hand
to
be
mutually
supported,
supportive
of
each
other
and
getting
the
word
out
to
the
community
and
you're
doing
you
two
are
doing
such
an
awesome
job
and
and
saying
that
you,
how
close
you
you
work
with
law
enforcement.
A
How
close
do
you
work
with
Hope
Harbor
you're
also
connected
with
a
lot
of
other
resources
in
the
community
as
well,
because
it's
about
helping
and
and
what
organization
can't
do
all
you,
you
might
be
able
to
do
90
of
it,
but
you
have
to
reach
out
to
get
10
person
needs
a
place
to
stay,
can't
go
back
into
the
home
right
and
so
I'm.
So
glad
that
you,
you
brought
that
out
all
right.
So
Nick
is
there
another
slide.
F
Yes,
yep
here
we
go
so
we
might
not
go
through
all
of
this,
but
it's
just.
These
are
some
important
information
for
individuals
to
know.
Sometimes
it
can
take
a
while
for
someone
to
even
realize
that
what
they're
experiencing
is
violence,
intimate
partner
in
sexual
assault
and
and
rape
are
used
to
intimidate
and
control
and
demean
victims,
and
it's
more
likely
to
cause
physical
injury
and
I.
Think
a
common
misconception
is
that
domestic
violence
is
always
physical
violence.
Well,.
F
And
so
we've
seen
a
lot
of
people
who
you
know
for
years
may
have
been
experiencing
all
that
and
they
didn't
even
realize
it
that
it
was
violence
and
they
were
held
into
that
relationship
for
far
longer
and
so
again,
just
some
important
information
for
our
community
to
know.
18
of
female
victims
of
spousal
rape
say
their
children
witness
to
the
crime
which
we
know
has
years
and
can
even
have
Decades
of
an
impact
on
a
child.
A
It
creates
a
lot
of
baggage
for
individuals
that
they
don't
even
know
why
they're
driven
themselves
and
doing
or
saying
or
acting,
but
it's
all
from
an
instance
they've
seen
and
that
they've
experienced
and
that's
why
dealing
with.
If
something
like
that
happens,
letting
the
victims
know,
because
actually
it's
not
solely,
and
in
many
cases
it's
not
solely
that
victim.
It
could
be
the
children
that
they
are
victims.
As.
A
They
are
victims,
and
so
you've
got
to
really
it's
a
healing
situation,
just
like
with
a
physical
condition.
Yes,
the
emotional
aspect
of
it
is
the
thing
that
that
really
lingers,
and
is
generational,
yeah,
that's
the
that's.
The
thing
is
generational,
and
so
the
the
bottom
line
is
the
fact
that
the
organization
is
here
in
the
community.
A
F
A
F
F
Know
so
talking
about
how
it
impacts
the
family
and
the
children
we
we
have
a
lot
of
people
who
come
to
us,
and
you
know
say
this
went
on
in
my
home
when
I
was
a
child
or
I
experienced
this
as
a
child
and
I'm
struggling
now
and
or
there's
individuals
where
something
may
have
happened
last
week
and
counseling
is
our
most
utilized
service.
It's
where
a
large
portion
of
our
our
funds
go
to
it's.
Oh.
A
D
A
F
A
Severe
you
spoke
about
that
I.
Had
some
people
say,
was
that
correct
I
said
sure,
that's
correct,
yeah
I
says,
and
they
may
not
verbalize
it.
Let
anyone
know,
but
but
it's
just
as
impactful,
and
they
need
to
see
counseling
they
need
to
to
reach
out
absolutely
may
not,
but
it
something
like
that
will
eventually
emotional
trauma
will
eventually
get
the
best
of
you.
If
you
don't
take
care
of
it
right.
Yeah.
B
C
B
A
And
that's
where
some
people
there,
they
are
afraid,
because
it
is
something
very
personal
to
them
right,
but
they
have
to
know
that
whatever
this
is
personal
and
confidential
and
that
you
all
are
there
to
help
them,
because
it
is
very,
very
it's
something.
That's
going
to
stay
with
you
and
fester,
and
fester
and
fester
and
fester,
and
it's
it's
just
it's
like
I
said
you
cannot
be
objective
about
it
when
you're
subjected
to
this
you're
part
of
the
situation,
and
so
when
you
need
volunteers,
you
also
need
donations.
A
A
We're
such
a
good
community
that
that's
what
we're
about
we're
about
locking
arms
one
thing:
I
love
about
this
book,
about
locking
arms
and
holding
each
other
close
when
someone's
going
through
a
tough
time,
and
so
for
one
last
time,
I'm
going
to
have
them
look
because
I
want
y'all
to
donate
any
of
that
jingling
and
then
quickly,
piece
of
paper
and
your
time,
volunteering
you
can
betrayed.
Let
me
ask
you:
there's
no
age
limit
on
training.
Can
I
come
involved?
Can
you.
A
C

So

do
that.
Please
help
them
and
support
them,
so
they
can
continue
to
help
you
