Supporting our troops
Statistics indicate that 40% of military spouses experience violent relationships. Long periods of absence coupled with the job stress can escalate the tendency toward violent behavior. When couples are reunited there may be a period of adjustment, which can often be difficult.
We meet requirements for AR – 608-18 – Domestic Violence Training
Prevention helps us all
Fix the Hurt has been successful in supporting the military’s efforts to reduce domestic abuse. To date, we have produced 75 performances for 15 installations nationally and in Japan for the Airforce, Marines, Army, and Army Special Ops. The response to our programs is reflected in show requests at ten additional installations and numerous repeat performances.
Evidence when it’s needed
After each performance, we provide a question and answer discussion with an evaluation to document measurable outcomes. Our criteria for the audience is to recognize abuse when they see it, how to respond to what they have recognized, where to find resources for assistance.
