Domestic violence is a devastating and costly epidemic, and the Diamond Diva Empowerment Foundation (2DEF) Initiative Pathways to Brightness (P2B) program assists with reestablishing a healthy, stable life for program participants and their children. 2DEF P2B offers domestic violence response referrals to women and children in need of emergency and transitional shelter. The program partners with domestic violence shelters throughout the St. Louis region--providing tangible resources such as the Valentine’s Day Love Packages and Purses for a Purpose projects during Domestic Violence Awareness Month (October), among many others. 2DEF’s most robust service is its community reestablishment program. It is a transitional housing program that places people and their children leaving dangerous domestic violence situations into emergency shelters, connecting them with mid-term housing and life skills programs.
