WHAT:
For the second year, Partnership Against Domestic Violence (PADV), Georgia’s first, largest and most experienced nonprofit working to end domestic violence, is hosting a Men’s Leadership Breakfast Series to address dating violence in the workplace. The first event will take place on Thursday, June 21, 2018, from 7:30 – 9:30 a.m. at the Hilton Downtown-Atlanta. This session, titled “What Am I Supposed to Do?” will discuss how men can safely and appropriately respond to everyday situations of domestic violence that they may encounter.
PADV’s Men’s Leadership Breakfast Series is a program created to encourage more men to be involved in the fight against domestic violence and have a stronger voice in its elimination. In conjunction with Hilton Hotels, the breakfast series began in 2017 after a valued Hilton Atlanta employee was shot and killed by her boyfriend while she was at work.
This is a two-part series of breakfasts, which take place at different Hilton-owned properties throughout the metro Atlanta area. Last year’s topics included teen dating violence, domestic violence in the workplace and men’s role in growing healthy children. A second breakfast will be held on Thursday, November 1.
