The Wrangell community group BRAVE (Building Respect and Valuing Everyone) has embarked on a "revival mode" after slowing down last year for the pandemic.
BRAVE, which was founded in 2017, has as its mission statement: "To provide advocacy for healthy relationships in our community through prevention programs, resource referral and community engagement."
It has been an unofficial sister organization to WISH (Women in Safe Homes), the Ketchikan shelter for victims of domestic violence which also serves Wrangell.
The group will meet at noon Feb. 12 at the Salvation Army meeting room, which will be limited to 20 participants to maintain safe distancing. A Zoom link will be available for anyone interested.
For more information, call BRAVE organizer Kay Larson at (907) 209-9117 or email brave.wrangell@gmail.com.
In past years, BRAVE has managed several programs and activities including a "Choose Respect" march, family resilience fairs, educational programs, training sessions, and obtaining grant funds to provide backpacks with supplies for people in need.
