Members of East Stroudsburg University’s Wellness Education and Prevention team partnered with staff and volunteers from Women’s Resources of Monroe County earlier this week to display Pinwheels for Peace, a campaign to raise awareness and to prevent domestic violence/intimate partner violence as part of the month-long Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Each purple pinwheel displayed in front of the Monroe County Courthouse in Stroudsburg, Pa., represents one of the 970 Monroe County survivors of domestic violence recorded last year.
