| Transcript | BAY AREA NOW Presents Anne Helton, R.N. Slide show and Discussion on Violence and Pregnancy 7:30 PM Sept. 4, 1986 A Uniting Church El Camino Real & Reseda Anne Helton was a student nurse working in an emergency room when she first encountered a severely battered pregnant woman. Helton was appalled. But she was more shocked by the attitude of the other doctors and nurses she worked with. They advised her not to get involved because the woman would probably just return to her husband. Because of her interest, Helton began volunteering at the Houston Area Women's Center, where she encountered an increasing number of battered pregnant women at the shelter. Although Helton was convinced it was a bigger problem than people realized she knew the women who made their way to the shelter were only one part of the story. "We spend lots of time screening pregnant women for hypertension, diabetes and cancer, but not for battering and that can be the most dangerous thing that they face. In this case we1re not looking at the effects on one life, but on two." Refreshments and friendship 7:00 p.m. |
