Zach Griffith on Maine Calling

October 21, 2024

Domestic abuse encompasses more than most people think. It involves people from all walks of life, and it takes a variety of forms—including physical violence, emotional harm and financial abuse. Experts, including Safe Voices violence intervention coordinator Zach Griffith, join Maine Calling to discuss how to recognize domestic abuse and seek help securely. They also talk about outreach to survivors as well as to abusers, and what methods help stem the prevalence of domestic abuse.

“My personal philosophy is that my ‘clients’ are not the participants [in a domestic violence intervention program]. It’s the women and children who are in their lives now or in the future.”

-Zach Griffith, violence intervention coordinator at Safe Voices
