When Home is Not the Safest Place

Post

The United Nations has been reporting an increase in the number of domestic violence across the globe due to COVID-19 that is requiring people to remain at home during lockdowns and shelter-in-place orders. Unfortunately, for many people who had experienced domestic abuse, homes are now always the safest place. Locally, CORA continues to provide support to victims of domestic abuse. You can call their crisis line at 1-800-300-1080. The State of California is also offering 24-hour suicide and domestic violence hotlines and chat now sessions and other support resources to help with emotional support and well-being that you can find here: https://covid19.ca.gov/resources-for-emotional-support-and-well-being/#top
