BENSON - 25:40 - SO WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO IS EXPAND SCHOLORSHIPS FOR NURSES, EXPAND THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO TEACH NURSES. AND MAKE IT WHEN HIGH SCHOOLS GRADUATE A STUDENT IF THEY WANT TO BE A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL THEY CAN GET OUT WITH A LISCENCED PRACTICAL NURSE DEGREE READY TO GO TO WORK. AND WE ARE DOING THAT THROUGH A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP WITH NO TAX PAYER DOLLARS INVOLVED IN ANY OF THESE PROGRAMS. BUT WE ARE JUST TRYING TO GET AWARENESS UP AND GET MORE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE PROGRAM. 26:30 RICHARD BROTHERS GOV'S HEALTH CARE ADVISOR - 35:13 THIS PROGRAM IS TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE PARTICULARLLY YOUNG PEOPLE TO CHOOSE NURSING AS A CAREER. AND WE ARE DOING SEVERAL THINGS TO ENCOURAGE THAT. RIGHT DOWN TOO HELPING, THERE ARE TWO HIGH SHCOOLS, ONE THE FIRST CHARTER SCHOOL IN THE STATE IS LOOKING ATHAVING A HEALTH CARE TRACK. WHERE IN YOUR JUNIOR AND SENIOR YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL THIS KIDS WOULD ALSO BE TAKING NURSING EXAMS AND CLASSES. SO WHEN THEY GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL THEY'D ALSO BE LPN'S. AND PLYMOUTH REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL IS ALSO SET TO IMPLEMENT THAT PROGRAM WHICH SHOULD KICK OFF NEXT YEAR. 36:13 JOSEPH - 27:20 - I'M ENCOURAGED BY THE FACT THAT THE GOVERNOR IS TALKING ABOUT IMPROVING THE WORKING CONDITIONS FOR NURSES BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF LPN THAT ARE GOING TO BE IN THE WORKFORCE. ESPECIALLY THAT HE IS CONSIDERING OFFERING THEM FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO FINISH THE EDUCATION. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE GOING TO MEET THE LPN PROGRAM. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY ARE GOING TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO TOGETHER WITH THEIR WORK IN WORK IN SCHOOL. AND BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE LPN PROGRAM. IT IS A VERY INTENSIVE PROGRAM. 28:05 |

| Domestic Campaign Return to index of stories... |
WOMAN --- THE TAG LINE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE - IT'S NEVER THIS OBVIOUS. AND IT SELDOM IS OBVIOUS. YOU SELDOM SEE SOMEONE WITH VISIBLE BRUISES, THAT DOESN'T MEANT THAT YOU DON'T PASS A VICTIM OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE EVERYDAY AND THAT'S THE POINT OF THIS CAMPAIGN. PSA "IT'S NOT ALWAYS THIS EASY. IT'S NEVER THIS OBVIOUS TO RECOGNIZE THE SIGNS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE. TO ANYONE. LEARN HOW TO RECOGNIZE THE SIGNS VISIT BREAKTHESILENCEMAKETHECALL.COM GET ANSWERS. GET HELP. GET INVOLVED. HELP US PUT AN END TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE BECAUSE IT'S NEVER THIS OBVIOUS." ATTY. GEN. HEED IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED THIS ALREADY YOU NOTICE JOHN STARK'S OLD LIVE FREE OR DIE THEME WAS A GOOD THEME BACK IN THE REVOLUTION BUT AS AFAR AS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE GOES, WE PREFER IF THE "OR DIE" NOT HAVE TO HAPPEN. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE TRUTH IS FOLKS, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DIE TO LIVE FREE. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE TERRORIZED TO LIVE FREE. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE ASSAULTED TO LIVE FREE AND YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE THREATENED TO LIVE FREE AND YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE FRIGHTENED TO LIVE FREE. KELLY DOYLE, VIOLENCE SURVIVOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ISN'T OFTEN A VISIBLE SIGHT. IT'S EASY TO HIDE A BRUISE OR A EXPLAIN AWAY A BROKEN ARM. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CAN SHOW UP ANYWHERE - IT'S NOT A VICTIM OF FAMILIES IN POVERTY IT'S THE TRUE VICTIMS ARE THE MEN AND WOMEN AND CHILDREN THAT WALK BESIDE US EVERY DAY ON THE STREET. |

WHILE THE REASONS FOR NOT REPORTING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ARE MANY AND COMPLEX, DOMESTIC ABUSE IS ONE OF THE MOST PREVALENT CRIMES IN OUR STATE. EARLIER THIS YEAR WE VISITED "A SAFE PLACE". A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SHELTER IN PORTSMOUTH. CELENE RAMADAN SAT DOWN WITH SOME OF THE WOMEN THERE TO TALK ABOUT THE REALITIES OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND WHY THEY TURNED TO A SAFE PLACE. |

KATHY - WELL, BEING A SURVIVOR OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND ALSO A WOMAN OF FAITH I JUST REALLY EXPERIENCED A CALLING. GOD DID NOT ALLOW ME TO SURVIVE MY INCIDENCE WITH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND NOT DO SOMETHING WITH IT. I REALLY FELT THAT IT WAS NECESSARY FOR ME TO GIVE HOPE TO OTHER VICTIMS OR SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE BECAUSE I KNEW WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO HAVE THAT - I KNEW WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE ALONE. ONETA - I BECAME A PART OF SAFE PLACE BECAUSE I USED TO ALSO BE ABUSED. I WAS INVOLVED IN A RELATIONSHIP AND HE ALMOST KILLED ME AND I'M NOT THE TYPICAL PERSON THAT PEOPLE WOULD ASSUME WOULD BE PHYSICALLY ABUSED. I WAS VICE PRESIDENT OF A COMPANY, I HAD MY OWN BUSINESS AND AFTER I WAS ABLE TO SURVIVE THE SITUATION AND WALKED AWAY FROM IT AND HAD HELP FROM MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS IT WAS ALWAYS IN THE BACK OF MY MIND THAT IF EVER I WAS IN A POSITION TO HELP TO STOP THIS VIOLENCE THAT I NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. LISA I CAME IN AS A SERVICE UTILIZER. IT WAS SUCH A PROFOUND EXPERIENCE FOR ME. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT I REALLY FELT LIKE I HAD SOME VALUE AS A PERSON. AND THE MINUTE I WALKED THROUGH THOSE DOORS, I COULD FEEL IT. I KNEW THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE FOR ME. I FELT LIKE I DIDN'T NEED TO EXPLAIN HOW I WAS FEELING. PEOPLE JUST UNDERSTOOD. AND SOMETIMES I DIDN'T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING WE WOULD BE SILENT AND THAT WOULD BE OKAY WITH THEM. CELENE WHAT IS SOMETHING ABOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE THAT YOU THINK PEOPLE WOULD FIND SURPRISING? ONETA I THINK FOR ME, IT WAS THAT I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT WAS ME. I WAS JUST LIKE A WOMAN LIKE ME, I HAD MONEY I HAD A WONDERFUL CAREER - I DIDN'T GROW UP WITH THIS I GREW UP IN AN UPPER MIDDLE CLASS NEIGHBORHOOD I WASN'T TYPICAL OF MY OF PEOPLE THAT WERE IN MY SITUATION. BUT IT SNEAKS UP ON YOU. - IT BECOMES A CYCLE AND THEN THE NEXT RELATIONSHIP. YOU THINK YOU BEAT THAT RELATIONSHIP AND THE NEXT IS WELL, "HE PUSHED ME A LITTLE BIT AND IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING" AND IT ENDED UP WHERE I WAS IN BED AND HE WAS CUTTING ME WITH A KNIFE AND HE'S CHOKING ME TO DEATH SO UM, HE SAID THAT WAS THE LAST DAY THAT I WAS GOING TO LIVE AND I HAD TO THINK ABOUT MY FAMILY WHICH GOT ME THROUGH IT. CELENE WHAT IS IT LIKE FOR A VICTIM TO COME TO A PLACE LIKE A SAFE PLACE OR A SHELTER? DEANNA I COULD ONLY IMAGINE THAT YOU WOULD FEEL FRIGHTENED YOU WOULD HOPE THAT NONE OF YOUR FRIENDS KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING UM I THINK IT TAKES GREAT COURAGE FOR A WOMAN TO FINALLY SAY I'M LEAVING I'M GOING TO GO GET SHELTER. KATHY THE REASON I LEFT IN THE FIRST PLACE IS THAT I HAD BEEN BEATEN SEVERELY FOR A SECOND TIME AND I JUST MY PARENTS HAD ALWAYS SAID TO ME IN THE PAST DON'T EVER MARRY HIM - HE'S GOING TO END UP BEATING YOU. HE HAD, HE WAS TRYING TO KILL ME THAT NIGHT - HE WHISPERED IN MY EAR THAT HE WAS GOING TO DO THE SAME THING TO MY EIGHTEEN MONTH DAUGHTER AND THAT WE'D BOTH DISAPPEAR AND NOBODY'D CARE. AT THAT POINT, I JUST DECIDED 'NO, I WANT TO LIVE'. AND SO IT WAS JUST THE DETERMINATION THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO BE ANOTHER NUMBER I DIDN'T WANT TO BE ANOTHER STATISTIC. AND THAT NOT EVEN FOR MYSELF BUT FOR MY DAUGHTER - SHE DESERVES A BETTER LIFE THAN THAT. CELENE THERE'S AN AWFUL LOT OF STATISTICS ABOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE - IS THERE A DANGER IN QUANTIFYING - DOES SOMETHING GET LOST IN THE NUMBERS? PATRICIA YOU KNOW, I THINK EVERY TIME WE READ NUMBERS IN THE NEWSPAPER AND THAT WE READ NUMBERS ON THE TELEVISION, WE'RE SUCH AN INFORMATION SOCIETY THAT IT'S REALLY EASY TO SAY "OH WOW" AND THEN WE GO ON DOING THE DISHES OR WHATEVER WE WERE DOING AND I THINK THAT WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THE STORIES, THE INDIVIDUALS AND THE LIVES BEHIND THE NUMBERS. KATHY HAS A REALLY INTERESTING STATISTIC IN HER OFFICE THAT SAYS DURING THE WHOLE PERIOD OF THE VIETNAM WAR 58,000 AMERICAN LIVES WERE LOST. DURING THAT SAME TIME - KATHY - 48,000 WOMEN WERE KILLED DUE TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN THE UNITED STATES ALONE. PAT - SAME TIME PERIOD AND YOU KNOW THAT'S A HORRIFIC FIGURE. I THINK WE'RE SO - WE'RE ALMOST NUMBED BY NUMBERS IN THIS COUNTRY. KATHY - AND IF I COULD ADD SOMETHING TO THAT THE OTHER THING THAT STATISTICS JUST NEVER CONVEY IS REALLY THE UTTER HORROR OF THE EXPERIENCE OF BEING IN A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SITUATION - THEY DON'T CONVEY THE FEELING OF HAVING TO LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER ALL THE TIME BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT GUY IS SOMEWHERE OUT THERE WAITING TO HUNT YOU DOWN. CELENE WHAT'S THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE AS INDIVIDUALS AND AS ORGANIZATION IN DEALING WITH VICTIMS OR DEALING WITH ABUSE? PAT IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE TO FOR WOMEN TO COME TO A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN ASK FOR HELP. AND THEN BEGIN TO TELL THEIR STORY. KATHY SO MANY PEOPLE SAY TO ME 'ISN' T IT SO HARD HEARING EVERYBODY'S STORY DAY IN DAY OUT YOU KNOW, DON'T YOU EXPERIENCE A BURNOUT TYPE SITUATION. AND FOR ME IT IS JUST WONDERFUL TO COME TO WORK EVERYDAY AND SAY 'IT'S NOT MUCH BUT I'M DOING MY LITTLE BIT EVERYDAY TO HELP SOMEBODY ELSE ESCAPE THE REALITY OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. THIS WAS KIND OF MY WAY OF THUMBING MY NOSE AT MY EX-HUSBAND. THIS GIVES ME SOME POWER BACK! YOU KNOW, POWER THAT I JUST DIDN'T HAVE AT ALL. |
