Testimonials

I recently had the pleasure of attending a presentation on Domestic Violence and the Workplace. Pamela Harding made the presentation to staff at Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County in the State of Washington.

Pamela's presentation was informative and eye opening. I found her to be articulate and knowledgeable. We, at Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County, deal with victims of domestic violence every day, but I had no idea that violence in the home has such an impact in the workplace, which can sometimes end tragically for the victim at the place where they are employed.

I believe DV and the workplace is an important issue, and we need more education regarding this subject in our communities. Pamela Harding is an excellent presenter, and I would highly recommend her.

Attention Pamela Harding,

Hi Pamela,

I just wanted to take a minute and say thank you for the great presentation you brought to our Health, Environment, and Safety Committee last week. This is a very important topic. As the head of Security operations I have always been concerned about violence in the workplace. I am very aware of the statistics on domestic violence and understand the danger domestic violence creates when it follows the victims to work. Thank you for helping bring this issue into sharper focus for our safety committee, and for providing additional information on community resources. I look forward to working with you in the future.

Best Regards
Steven H. McAdams
