Pages for Change

We are working to end domestic violence and sexual assault in our community by making information and resources about these topics more accessible. Many people dealing with abuse do not know where to turn for help or do not have access to information they need to help themselves. Pages for Change aims to raise funds to donate key books on domestic violence and sexual assault to 19 libraries in south central Indiana by October 2012, in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Pages for Change was developed by Middle Way House, a non-profit domestic violence program and rape crisis center.
