|
It's over! Don't miss out on the next Seminar!
Seminar Date: Saturday, December 3rd, 2016 Seminar Time: 1:30 PM - 3:30PM Seminar Location: Islamic Circle of Mercer County 336 Lawrence Station Rd, Lawrenceville, NJ 08648 YM Sisters, YM Brothers and Lantern Initiative are bringing you this event in effort to raise awareness for domestic violence. We recognize that putting an end to domestic violence is everyone’s responsibility and that stopping this silent war against victims requires education and working together as a community. Through this event, we aim to educate the community about this important issue and promote taking individual and collective action against it. Domestic violence thrives when we are silent; but if we take a stand and work together, we can end domestic violence. About the instructor:
Shaykh Dr. Mateen Khan was born and raised in the Philadelphia area. He completed his medical degree from Temple University Medical School, and specialized in Emergency Medicine.
