For several years Tracey Murphy was mentored by the late Susan Murphy Milano, nationally recognized intimate partner violence expert. Murphy assisted her in the exposure of the revolutionary Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit (EAA) described in detail in Murphy Milano’s book, Time’s Up: A Guide on How to Leave an Abusive and Stalking Relationship. Using the EAA in her own safety and escape plan, Tracey Murphy is a testament to the favorable results of the EAA and how it can be used successfully in helping victims of intimate partner violence enhance their personalized safety plan and escape abuse.
Tracey Murphy is one of a handful of advocates carrying the torch of Susan Murphy Milano’s work through Document The Abuse, bringing awareness to audiences and organizations across the country of the benefits of the Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit and teaching how it can be incorporated into existing protocols. The importance of the EAA to first responders, law enforcement, court personnel, hospital personnel and domestic violence advocates is one of Murphy Milano’s significant contributions to the vast issue of keeping victims of abuse from becoming murder victims.
