In this episode of Untold Valor, listeners are introduced to Kimberly Hollenback, a dedicated attorney from Legal Aid of Southeastern Pennsylvania, who sheds light on the often unseen aspects of domestic abuse affecting veterans and their families. The conversation kicks off with a focus on the various forms of domestic violence, including emotional, psychological, and financial abuse, which can be as damaging as physical violence but are often harder to detect.
Kimberly explains how her team provides crucial legal support to victims, helping them navigate complex issues like restraining orders, custody battles, and financial abuse. She emphasises that domestic violence is not limited to physical harm; it's a pattern of behaviour aimed at controlling another person. Reverend Ben joins the discussion, highlighting the importance of addressing domestic abuse within the veteran community, where PTSD and other stressors can exacerbate these issues.
The episode is not just about identifying problems but also about offering solutions and support. Kimberly reassures listeners that her services are confidential and accessible, regardless of income. Her passion for public interest law shines through as she shares her journey into this field, driven by a desire to make a positive impact. The episode concludes with a call to action for those affected by domestic violence to seek help and utilise available resources.
Whether you're a veteran facing these challenges or know someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and encouragement to take that first step towards recovery.
