Residents of Manassas Park are coming together to tackle the pressing issue of domestic violence with a Community Forum scheduled for September 30, 2024. The forum, set to take place from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Manassas Park Community Center, will offer resources and provide a platform for open discussions.

Local officials, including Delegate Michelle Maldonado (D), Vice Mayor Alanna Mensing, and Council Members Yesy Amaya and Darryl Moore, organized the event to create a safe and supportive environment for domestic violence survivors, they said during a governing body meeting on Sept. 17, 2024. A panel of representatives from various community-serving nonprofits will offer vital information on services available to victims and their families.

Attendees can hear from experts, ask questions, and gain insights into locally available resources. Among the organizations participating are agencies focused on mental health and emergency housing and advocates who work directly with survivors.
