How To Contact Your Local Domestic Violence Program:
Most local programs for battered women have ongoing community outreach efforts. Look for brochures, posters or other materials that describe available services. If you are unaware of a program in your community, the following steps should lead you in the right direction.

  • Check out the white or yellow pages of your phone book for “domestic violence,” “women shelters,” “shelter for battered women,” “crisis line,” or “hotline.”
  • Call your local government information and referral office, mental health agency, or human services division and ask for the name of the nearest program for battered women.
  • Contact your state coalition or task force in domestic violence and request referral information.
