The Dr. Pam Feeser
Women, children, men, the wealthy, the poor, elderly persons ... people from all walks, ages, races, cultures, classes have come to me, their spiritual leader, asking for help or just wanting to talk about the domestic violent situation they are in. Very quickly I realized that I had a lot to learn about how to be effective in this fight. Using my personal and professional experience, informing it with my faith and networking with other professionals working in domestic violence and tempering it all with the deep well of information from victims and survivors, I offer my best efforts to stop the violence/stop the silence. I am convinced that domestic violence is a community issue. For this reason, DOLPHINS is about educating, empowering, and networking both religious and secular community leaders so that we can work together toward healing and harmony in our communities.
Pam received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Music Education from West Chester University, Master of Divinity Degree from Emory University and is working toward her Doctorate of Ministry in Domestic Violence from South Florida Center of Theological Studies.
