WHAT IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Domestic Violence, also referred to as Domestic Abuse, is a pattern of coercive
behavior in which one person attempts to control another through threats or
actual use of physical violence, sexual assault, and verbal or psychological
abuse. Many victims of abuse do not recognize that they are abused. Anyone can
be a victim of abuse, no matter their race, age, gender, sexual orientation,
gender identity or expression, education, or income level. In the past year, we
provided support services to more than 1,600 victims of domestic violence.

INTERNET SAFETY

If you are worried someone you don’t trust and/or could be a danger to you is
monitoring your online activities, here are some tips to help you stay safe
online:

Avoid using email, chat, messaging or texting to talk to someone about the
danger or abuse in your life. Please call our helpline at 1-800-559-2927
instead.

If you’re on Facebook, Twitter or other social networking sites, consider
removing your profile if you think your abuser will stalk or harass you that
way.

If you want to look up important information, use a safe computer – at a
library, a friend’s house, or community college.
