Ep5: The importance of work to people experiencing violence‪.‬ Small Business, Big Impact

Many small businesses are like a family. And if someone in your actual family is violent and unpredictable, your workplace takes on even more importance in your life. Gretel Killeen speaks with Karen Prestidge – an expert who has spent decades training first responders on how to deal with domestic violence situations – and learns that domestic violence can affect anyone, in any type of workplace.
