West Hartford Mediation Firm Walks to End Domestic Violence

Jessica Lastarza of We Mediate CT leads Team We Mediate & Ainsley in Interval House Walk to End Domestic Violence on Oct 4, 2025, raising funds for survivor services.

This initiative matters because domestic violence affects approximately 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men during their lifetimes, with profound consequences for family stability and child development. When legal professionals like Jessica Lastarza actively support domestic violence prevention, it demonstrates how the legal community can contribute to systemic change beyond courtroom proceedings. For families navigating divorce, the intersection of domestic violence and legal processes can be particularly traumatic, making supportive services like those provided by Interval House crucial for safe transitions. Community participation in events like this walk helps destigmatize discussing domestic violence while generating essential funding for life-saving resources. The memorial aspect honoring Jennifer Farber Dulos—whose high-profile disappearance highlighted domestic violence issues—adds significant emotional weight to the cause, reminding us that awareness and collective action can literally save lives.
