Friday, June 11, 2021, 12-2PM, join The Silence No More movement as we honor and recognize survivors of domestic violence for their courage, strength, and perseverance and the individual support systems that are there long before police, restraining orders and court systems.
The Silence No More Movement is designed not to erase the past. But more importantly, to recognize the strength of a survivor and the support systems that got them there. It’s through experience, determination, passion, resilience, selflessness, and love that these individuals circle back to help change the mindset of current victims with hope for progress, justice, and healing.
The event will include remarks from the Loudoun County Commonwealth Attorney’s Office and local supporters of The Silence No More Movement.
The goal is for attendees to feel from listening, be uplifted from the stories of survival, and feel empowered to join the fight to guarantee that abuse will not continue to happen every 20 seconds in our nation.
This is a public event. RSVP is required.
Live Jazz and light appetizers.

Inova Loudoun is hosting a Stop the Bleed Workshop on May 19.
As part of the national Stop the Bleed® campaign, the Inova Virts Miller Family Emergency and Trauma Center at Inova Loudoun Hospital is hosting a free, in-person workshop on Thursday, May 19 from 4 to 6 p.m. This free course is designed for community members who may find themselves at the scene of an emergency.
During an emergency, no matter how quickly emergency professionals respond, the individuals on-scene are best positioned to assist and potentially stop life-threatening blood loss. This is critical because a person who is bleeding profusely can die from blood loss within five minutes.
Workshop attendees will enhance their emergency preparedness by learning the difference between bleeding and life-threatening blood loss, and how to react to both. Participants will practice with tourniquets and wound packing.
The workshop will be held at Inova Loudoun Hospital, 44055 Riverside Parkway, within The Ladies Board Education Center, Suite 160. Free on-site parking is available.
Participation is free but space is limited. To register visit inova.org/stopthebleed.
