In the new year, we can all do more to open up conversations that can save lives—by supporting those enduring domestic violence in getting help. Too often, people are afraid to open these conversations and the victim suffers in silence, sometimes with fatal outcome. If you or anyone you know is a victim of domestic violence or is in need of support services, there are organizations that can help. If you are in a crisis or need immediate support, dial 911 or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at (BOO) 799-SAFE (7233), and for a comprehensive list of resources available throughout Colorado please visit Violence Free Colorado at violencefreecolorado.org. #intimatepartnerviolence #domesticviolence #domesticviolenceawareness #domesticabuse #ipv #violenceagainstwomen #empathymatters
