Help for Domestic Violence – Friday, October 23, 2015

October 23, 2015 Posted by Annie Hearn Family

The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence reports one in three women, and one in four men have been victims of physical violence at the hands of their partner. Friday on DelmarvaLife, we learned about resources designed to help victims. One of those resources is the “bMOREsafe” app. It offers victims information about their options, in a discreet fashion. It also provides access to a 24 hour hotline, a direct link to 911 and GPS instructions to a nearby emergency room.

We also learned about some groups that can help victims. They include:

National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1−800−799−7233

Life Crisis Center: 1-410-749-HELP

Delaware Coalition Against Domestic Violence: 1-302-422-8058
