"Finally, domestic violence takes lives . The Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that close to 700,000 incidents of domestic violence are documented every year. Thousands more go unreported. And FBI data show that in the past quarter of a century, nearly 57,000 individuals have been killed in incidents of family violence."

"Slightly more than half of female victims of intimate violence live in households with children under age 12."

Health Care Professional


Many victims of domestic violence receive regular treatment from health care providers who have no idea that there is abuse at home. We can help you better serve patients by providing training on domestic violence, including universal screening, warning signs, resources available, and more. Posting information in private spaces, such as individual examining rooms and bathrooms, give victims a chance to obtain assistance safely.
