Adults can learn how to identify an abuser at an Oct. 10 domestic violence awareness class at DeKalb Technical College in Clarkston.

The 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. session is being organized by Angels In Distress, a nonprofit that provides training in anger management, coping skills, housing, restructuring and self-esteem for offenders or victims of domestic violence.

Janie Deawyler, Angels In Distress founder and executive director, said victims of domestic violence often share what is in their hearts with people they should not.

“This information is used to manipulate, isolate, violate, emotionally and physically abuse us,” she said.

The Women’s Resource Center to End Domestic Violence says there were 111 fatalities attributed to domestic violence in Georgia last year.

The free class is open to anyone who wants to know the signs and symptoms of domestic violence.

DeKalb Technical College is at 495 North Indian Creek Drive in Clarkston.
