Focus on family safety in South Dakota

On today's show...

Survivors of domestic violence aren't alone in South Dakota. We explore the services and support system here to help.

Michelle Lavallee is CEO of the Children's Home Society. And Kate Feilmeier is the program director of the Children's Home Shelter for Family Safety in Sioux Falls and Bright Start.

They take us behind the scenes of the society's fundraising efforts and how they're growing (1:10-21:45).

We also learn more about the South Dakota Network Against Family Violence and Sexual Assault. The network provides training to different agencies around the state and offers legal support to families.

Krista Heeren-Graber, the network's executive director, joins "In the Moment" to talk about the power of accountability (21:45-49:10).
