Meet the VOICES Committee
The Knoxville Family Justice Center's VOICES Committee is a group of dedicated survivors who work to improve the experience of survivors seeking help for domestic violence through advocacy, education, community outreach, and sharing of their own perspectives.
Membership is open to all survivors who are no longer in a relationship with their abuser and are not currently undergoing trial or court proceedings related to the abuse and/or separation from the abusive partner. All applicants will be interviewed to ensure there are no safety concerns and they are ready to actively participate.
The Committee meets monthly.
