Resources for Victims

If you are a Survivor, you are not alone. You deserve to be safe, even at this time.  We encourage you to connect with a domestic violence advocate trained to help you create a safety plan.  If you are a manager or co-worker, the following resources should be provided to anyone you are concerned may be a victim of partner violence.

For survivors who already have a safety plan, know that there are advocates ready to help you navigate the changes you may need to make as a result of this global crisis.
