As we approach the holiday season, it's crucial to remember that not everyone experiences the holidays with joy and warmth. Sadly, for some, it can be a time of increased danger and vulnerability due to domestic violence. Domestic violence doesn't take a break for the holidays. In fact, the pressures and expectations of the season can exacerbate tensions, leading to a rise in incidents. Recognizing the signs and reaching out can make a significant difference. If you suspect someone you know might be a victim, don't hesitate to lend a helping hand. It could be a simple check-in, offering support, or providing information about available resources. Let's work together to create a safe and compassionate community.
Remember, your compassion and action can be a lifeline for someone in need. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please call your local emergency services. Our 24/7 Crisis Hotline is available 365 days a year (252) 473-3366
