Womenspace Continued from Page 1 Awarenesss Month include ex hibits throughout the community, public discussions, presentations at high schools and news conferences with domestic violence, law en forcement and health care experts. Womenspace is also sponsoring an art show at the WOW hall until the end of the month featuring original works by Womenspace Domestic Violence Services staff and clients. The exhibit includes drawings, photos, collages, paint ings and textiles addressing such themes as the toll taken by domes tic violence, abuse patterns, heal ing processes and empowerment. Michele Jean, a domestic vio lence survivor who has three wa tercolor paintings in the exhibit, said painting and her involvement with Womenspace helped her get out of an abusive relationship. “I was married to a very emo tional, abusive man,” Jean said. “He got worse and worse while I was going to self-improvement seminars. The stronger I got, the worse he got.” After speaking with counselors at Lane Community College’s Women’s Center and Womenspace, Jean said she realized that she was n’t responsible for her husband’s anger and didn’t have to tolerate it. She wanted to leave, but was ill, had no money and felt trapped. Womenspace volunteers of 007266 v»- m 1/2 Price Mocha Receive 1 Mocha at Half Price w/ Coupon Offer expires 10/11/99.

Painting has helped. I feel I have a lot more val ue, and I actually enjoy fife, which I didn’t before. And I enjoy people.” The agency has helped thou sands of women leave abusive re lationships like Jean did. Women space’s victim services include a 24-hour crisis line, emergency shelter and transportation, a year long in-house program, counsel ing, financial support and advice on legal proceedings, welfare and job searching. Womenspace also strives to ed ucate the community to help pre vent domestic violence and sup port victims. “Eighty percent of people abused don’t seek shelters but go to friends and family,” Schaefer said. “And the most common responses are: ‘Why do you put up with that ... why don’t you leave?”’ Such responses are just as dam aging as the abuse inflicted by a victim’s batterer, Schaefer said. In essence, these responses are say ing, “You’re stupid and can’t func tion by yourself.” Schaefer advises friends and family of domestic violence vic tims to tell them you’re worried and want to help. “Support that person’s ability to be in charge and help that person figure out what’s important to them. Tell them they’re smart and capable, and they’ll figure out that they deserve better,” she said. “The main reason domestic vio lence exists is because of silence and isolation,” Schaefer said. “Don’t let somebody isolate some body you care about. ” For advice or information about domestic violence, contact Wom enspace at 484-6103 or by e-mail at womensp@efn.org.
