In an emergency, call 911 or the National Domestic Violence Outreach 24-hour hotline at (800) 799-7233 or (800) 787-3224. The mission of the Domestic Violence Outreach is threefold. The first is to raise awareness of domestic violence. Second, is to promote the development and delivery of services, such as counseling and group support, to women, men, and adolescent victims of domestic violence, as
well as to perpetrators, through institutions and agencies. Third, is to advocate for the prevention of domestic violence. Girls and boys, young women and young men must learn to recognize the elements of unhealthy and healthy relationships. This is accomplished through education at home, in schools, and in the community.
