Rob Castner, Victim Advocate from the Domestic Violence Coalition, visited Van Buren Tech's Cosmetology program to present "Cut it Out" in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This presentation is relevant in the industry because a salon is one of the first places to see signs of domestic violence. Rob taught the Cosmetology students how to be aware and provide resources to clients in need.
