Breaking Silence Saves Lives

October is both Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Domestic Violence Awareness Month — two issues that touch countless lives in our community. Join us for an empowering evening of learning, resources, and connection at the Women’s Wellness & Safety Summit.

What to Expect:

*Whispering Ivy Welcome - Learn about the Belle Center’s initiative supporting women’s strength and resilience.
*Kasey Conrad – Opening message with heart, healing, and hope.
*Katie Reuter, Henry County Public Health Officer – Women’s health & prevention.
*Angie Rhum, “Care for Yourself” Program – Access to free and low-cost breast and cervical cancer screenings.
*Delaney Dixon, DVIP/RVAP Director – Safety, support, and resources for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
*Panel Conversation & Audience Dialogue – Bringing it all together with community voices.

Resource tables will be available with information on screenings, local services, and support networks.

This Summit is about more than awareness - it’s about action, advocacy, and standing together as a community. Whether you come for information, support, or connection, you will leave with hope and resources.

All are welcome. Free to attend.
