This video below was created by members of C4DP’s Marin Against Youth Abuse Committee as part of their Domestic Violence Awareness Month campaign to raise awareness of domestic violence and dating abuse prevention. College interns in the program interviewed friends and family to understand better how the Marin County public understands domestic violence, different abuse types, and how it impacts their lives and community.
