On Friday, March 22, the Psychology Department and Psi Beta Club hosted a Domestic Violence Colloquium featuring guest speaker Susan Gottschalk.<\/p>\n
\u201c[Susan] talked about domestic violence and especially how it affects college students,\u201d Jennifer King-Cooper, Psychology professor said.<\/p>\n
Gottschalk is the director of the Family Violence Collaborative at the Artemis Center. This is where those looking for help can meet for support, help with handling crisis and safety planning.<\/p>\n
Gottschalk\u2019s job entitles her to educate employers and the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cI work with everyone in the community who might have contact with a victim, so that contact is as optimal as it can be,\u201d Gottschalk said.<\/p>\n
She spoke for two hours discussing domestic violence and the domestic violence dynamic, which involved intimate partner violence, how to recognize victims and how to help them.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are lots of indicators, one might be that she\u2019s late to work or school, her grades may drop or she may become less decisive,\u201d Gottschalk said. \u201cAnd she may become quieter or dress more modestly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Psychology students were also invited to attend the colloquium for a learning experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s different about this presentation is that it\u2019s being sponsored by the Psychology Department and we are encouraging our students to come,\u201d King-Cooper said.<\/p>\n
She also said that many of the faculty members gave extra credit for attending.<\/p>\n
King-Cooper is a member of the domestic violence task force on campus and knew Gottschalk would be a good person to speak about the topic.<\/p>\n
Gottschalk hopes those that attended the colloquium now understand how often domestic violence happens, how important it is to be supportive of victims and how to help them.<\/p>\n
\u201cDomestic violence thrives on secrecy,\u201d Gottschalk said. \u201cThe more people who know about it, the better our chances are of eliminating it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Artemis Center has been providing alternatives to domestic violence for 28 years and all of the services provided by the Artemis Center are free<\/p>\n
