Did you know that 1 in 4 women (24.3%) and 1 in 7 men (13.8%) aged 18 and older in the United States have been the victim of severe physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime?
Think about your closest circle of friends. Now, notice the statistic above. 1 in 4 women. 1 in 7 men. Statistically, someone you know has been a victim of domestic abuse, yet you probably have no idea. Frightening, right?
This month we are focusing on the basics of our program, what kind of program Haven is, who we serve, and the services we provide. It’s important to us that you know that we are here for ALL victims of crime. Read below and call if you have questions, we’re here to help.
This past month, June, was Pride month. It’s a great time to educate ourselves on what LGBTQ2 means. We hear it quite a bit, but do we understand what it means? Do we know what “two-spirit” refers to? The more we know – the less we can “other” each other. The less we “other” each other, the more likely we are to step in when we see someone in need – when we see someone in pain or who might be hurting. Violence happens in all relationships, regardless of sexual orientation. Let’s get to know each other, so if we’re needed we understand.
