Stories of Courage & Connection

Umbrella is kicking off Domestic Violence Awareness Month by hosting two intimate evenings of storytelling with the focus on people’s personal stories of Courage & Connection.

Events will take place on October 2, 2025, at the Goodrich Memorial Library in Newport and the other will be on October 3, 2025, at the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum in St. Johnsbury at 6pm for both events. All Admissions are free.
