Utah leaders met Friday morning for a roundtable discussion about new domestic violence policies and the $30 million collectively allocated to domestic violence issues during the 2023 legislative session.
SALT LAKE CITY — This year was the year of services. Next year will be the year of prevention.Peña, director for the Utah Division of Multicultural Affairs, was a participant in Friday morning's roundtable discussion about new domestic violence policies and the $30 million collectively allocated to domestic violence issues during the 2023 legislative session.
Romero added that since they're working with sexual assault and domestic violence survivors, "that confidentially and that trust is really important to respect." "Those kinds of real conversations before the applications go out, before the formal meetings happen, the very fabric of what made this last legislative session so successful… and why it's so important that we keep working together," she said.
So for lawmakers providing a collective $30 million this year is a "phenomenal gesture," Mendenhall said, not only to the service providers but "to Utahns who are victims and have been victims that we love you, we want to support you, and we're going to put that money and the policies in place to give you the most support that we can."
