Experiencing Domestic Violence OR Rape ?
More than 12 million women and men are victims of rape, physical violence, or stalking every year in the United States. More than one-third of women and one-fourth of men have been raped, assaulted, or stalked by an intimate partner.
Such problems have never gone away despite activism and legislation like the Violence Against Women Act, but there are several programs emerging all over the United States that are designed to prevent, protect, and educate.
Sunshine Behavioral Health offers resources to recognize, address, and fight domestic violence.
