Show Notes

Rowan House Society has been a partner with Alberta Health Services Domestic Abuse Response Team (DART) Program for about a year now. It's a program designed to be an important touch point for individuals experiencing domestic violence and abuse, who's first, and maybe only opportunity to learn about their options for getting help, may be at the hospital.

In this episode, I am joined by Registered Nurse, Nicole Smith and Social Worker, Diana Adamo to discuss how the program works and why it's so important.
