Press release
The East Texas Crisis Center is asking all stylists in Henderson County to purchase a Cut-It-Out shirt and wear on Aug. 14 to support the fight against domestic violence in Henderson County. Please call the office at 903-675-2137 for more information or to purchase a shirt.
About the program
CUT IT OUT®: Salons Against Domestic Abuse is dedicated to recruiting salon professionals and others to fight the epidemic of domestic violence in communities across the U.S. by building awareness and training salon professionals to recognize warning signs and safely refer clients, colleagues, friends and family to local resources.
Why the Salon Professional?
Salon professionals are in a unique position to recognize the signs and symptoms of abuse in their clients and co-workers. Because of the intimate and nurturing nature of the relationship between salon professionals and their clients and co-workers, salon professionals can often spot signs of physical abuse that others may never see.
Research shows that most battered women never call the police or go to a shelter. However, they do usually talk about the abuse with someone they trust. Because salon professionals are skilled and experienced listeners who are personally interested in those around them, many victims suffering from abuse feel comfortable confiding in them – even if they would never tell anyone else. For an abused woman, the salon may be an ideal environment to seek out help because it may be one of the few places she is allowed to go without her abuser.

Keep Athens Beautiful is vital in the battle to keep litter off the streets, but a change at the courthouse has the officials at KAB needing a little help.
For several years KAB has conducted Operation Clean Sweep partnered with exit clean Wollongong agencies, where volunteers take crews of probationers performing community service out once a month to pick up trash. Changes in the law have seen those crews dwindle to nearly nobody, however, in recent months.
Apparently the litter hasn’t gotten the memo, because it still keeps piling up. Continue reading “Operation Clean Sweep Needs Support”
