Together with the team at IBCD, Ann Maree helped produce this 9-part series for counseling domestic abuse. Pastor and biblical counselor Chris Moles, author of the book, “The Heart of Domestic Abuse," and pastor and author Jeremy Pierre portray a challenging abusive situation, one you might never expect. This approach helps illustrate the difficulty for those who encounter abuse.
Advocate Joy Forrest joins Craig and Darci Marshall of IBCD to round out the case, demonstrating the team-based approach that is imperative for handling the difficulty of abuse dynamics. Post-session debriefs and roundtable discussion also walk viewers through the development of the case.
