If you think you may be in danger, creating a safety plan can be very helpful. You can contact a domestic violence advocate to assist in creating a safety plan at anytime by calling 386-364-2100 or 800-500-1119.  

You may need to file for an injunction for protection, these services are free and can be done by contacting our Outreach Office  386-364-5957. We can assist you with information and referrals for legal representation as well as schedule an intake with you to assist you in your injunction process. One of our Domestic Violence advocates can be with you every step of the way. Even in court. You aren't alone in this!    

Domestic violence is a pattern of behaviors used to gain or maintain power and control. At The Hotline, our frame of reference for describing abuse is the Power and Control Wheel created by the Domestic Abuse Intervention Project in Duluth, MN.

Moreover, the wheel diagram serves as tactics abusive partners use to keep survivors in a relationship. The inside of the wheel makes up subtle, continual behaviors over time, while the outer ring represents physical and sexual violence. Thus, abusive actions like those depicted in the outer ring reinforce the regular use of other, more subtle methods found in the inner ring.
