Domestic violence

DV BANNER

 

No one deserves to be abused in any way. Our caseworkers can help you through your domestic violence situation.

If you feel you are being abused, call the Hamilton County DV line at: 1-800-721-8534

Some signs of Domestic Violence are:

  • Your partner wants to control you
  • Your partner physically or mentally hurts you
  • Your partner makes you feel afraid of them
  • Your partner threatens to hurt you 

Don't let your partner have control over your life. You should be able to make your own decisions and feel good about those decisions. Don't be afraid to ask for help from your family, friends, co-workers and caseworkers. You might be surprised at how willing people are to help once you ask them!

Caseworkers are: Gail Carmichael, Abigail Eichler
