Domestic Violence & Mental Health Resources
It's important to me that as an advocate, I share my knowledge with you. Because of this, you will find information below on available podcasts, books, and websites that I recommend if seeking safety and/or support for domestic violence, mental health and/or the rediscovery of who you are. Please note that this list of resources is not all-inclusive, but it's a starting point!
Helpful Websites
National Coalition Against Domestic Violence
National Domestic Violence Hotline
VINE
NNEDV-Safety Net Project
NNEDV- Women's Law.Org
Victim Connect Resource Center
While this isn't an all-inclusive list of helpful websites, they are a great starting point (and some of my favorites!)
