How to Recognize, Respond to, and Provide Resources to End Domestic Violence
This video is designed to help you recognize the signs of domestic violence and provide you with the information to respond to someone you know who may be a victim. The

- If you are concerned that someone you know is a victim of
domestic violence, what should you do?
- If someone shares her painful secret of domestic violence,

Seven out of ten domestic violence victims tell someone about the abuse they
