A Luncheon In Celebration of Connecticut Protective Moms

521 Riverside Avenue,Westport CT 06880

26 October, 2022

Description

Join Brave Spirit and CPM on October 26, 2022 at the Boathouse at Saugatuck, Westport, to celebrate CPM and our success in just three short years. CPM has connected over 300 protective mothers, domestic abuse victims, across the state, and spearheaded the introduction Jennifers’ Law, which passed in 2021 into state law to redefine Domestic Abuse to include coercive control. This newly amended law is in honor of Jennifer Dulos and Jennifer Magnano, two Connecticut moms who lost their lives while seeking safety in family court, which could not protect them. This was groundbreaking legislation as CT was only the third state to have a Coercive Control law. The CPM mission is to improve the Connecticut family court process to validate all forms of Domestic Abuse including physical, coercive control, emotional, verbal, financial and legal abuse.  By raising awareness and educating Connecticut family court stakeholders on this broader definition of Domestic Abuse, they continue to advocate to reform family court proceedings to protect abuse victims, mothers and their children. We look forward to meeting you and sharing our success stories with you at this joyful event. Betsy Keller Founder
