Center to kick off Domestic Violence Awareness Month at New Haven event

NEW HAVEN - The city will hold a joint press conference with the HOPE Family Justice Center, Mayor Justin Elicker and Police Chief Otoniel Reyes at 11:30 a.m. Oct. 6 to kick off Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
The press conference will be held on the steps of New Haven City Hall, 165 Church St.

The Hope Family Justice Center is a program of BHcare.

The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that 1.3 million women and 835,000 men are victims of physical violence by a partner every year. Every nine seconds, a woman in the U.S. is beaten or assaulted by a current or ex-significant other. 1 in 4 men are victims of some form of physical violence by an intimate partner.

The HOPE Family Justice Center of Greater New Haven is a collaboration of multiple community providers under one roof providing free wraparound services for domestic violence survivors and their families. It can take a victim over 25 hours to travel to multiple appointments to receive services. 

With each appointment, the victim must re-tell their story; reliving every painful detail as they meet with various providers. Here, victims of domestic violence receive support, healing, and pathways to empowerment. 

If you or anyone you know needs support and help, call (203) 800-7204.
