Call 911 if you are in immediate danger
Domestic violence is not your fault. It is not normal, and it is illegal.
Domestic violence is any act or threat of violence by a current or former partner in an intimate relationship.
Domestic Violence Can Involve Any of the Following:
- Destruction of property
- Threats and coercion
- Intimidation through looks, actions and gestures
- Physical violence
- Pet abuse
- Controlling what you do, who you see and who you talk to
Be prepared for your safety:
- Find a safe place to go that’s unknown to the batterer
- Write down and carry with you the phone numbers for emergency help (police, shelters)
- Tell someone you trust what is happening
- Trust your instincts – if you feel you are in danger, get out
- Hide things you’ll need if you leave – important documents, extra money, keys, etc.
- Plan with your children what to do in case of a violent incident
- Make an emergency safety plan with a friend or relative you can count on.
