    A large auditorium or lecture hall is filled with an audience of approximately 100-150 people seated in tiered rows with curved wooden desks and pink/mauve upholstered chairs. At least two individuals in military uniforms are visible in the front rows, suggesting a military-affiliated briefing or presentation. The venue appears to be a formal military installation auditorium, with artwork and displays visible on the walls.

    Audience members listen in as Garrison Commander Col. David J. Pinter Sr. speaks to them during the April Awareness Kickoff Event on April 11, 2018, at Fort McCoy, Wis. This was a special event to observe April as Child Abuse Prevention Month, Autism Awareness Month, Alcohol Awareness Month, and Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. It included morning and afternoon sessions with two guest speakers. One of the speakers was a survivor who, under request to remain anonymous, discussed her life experiences that covered all aspects of each monthly observance. She explained how she survived child abuse and sexual assault, dealt with autism, and overcame “self-medicating” herself by abusing alcohol. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T.
