What Can I Do To Help?

• Everyone can speak out against domestic violence. The problem will continue until society stands up with one resounding voice and says, “no more!”
• Members of the public can donate to local, statewide, or national anti-domestic violence programs.
• We can teach our children about what healthy relationships look like by example and by talking about it.
• You can call on your public officials to support life-saving domestic violence services and hold perpetrators accountable.
