Serious concerns remain about a possible increase in intimate partner violence at this difficult time.
RNC say they know that efforts to self isolate and contain the virus are advantageous for abusers and they are actively working to detect intimate partner violence in the community. They encourage anyone who suspects violence in the community to call 9-1-1.
Michelle Green of Iris Kirby House says they are extremely concerned that cases of abuse are not being reported.
They’re afraid that people may think they’re too busy, but if you need help, you are not alone and you can call.
