Do Something to End Domestic Violence

Family Services of Davidson County

Thomasville Housing Authority - Empowering People - Changing Lives

Family Services is presenting designated sessions to educate the public about the prevalence and severity of domestic violence. Domestic violence encompasses a wide range of abuses, including physical, emotional, psychological, and financial. Domestic and family violence happens when one person in a relationship uses violence or abuse to gain and maintain control over the other person. Domestic and family violence is usually an ongoing pattern of behavior that causes the victim of the abuse and violence to feel afraid and unsafe. Some people use violence and controlling behavior to maintain power in their relationships with those they are meant to care about.

Are you a victim of Domestic Violence? Do you know someone who is?  Are you a survivor of Domestic Violence? Do you suspect that a friend or family member is being abused, and you are not sure what to do? Do you know someone who is being abused and want to help? Has a friend, family member, or someone in your community (such as a neighbor or work colleague) approached you and talked about abuse or violence in their relationships? If you answered "yes" to one or more of these questions, then you are aware that increasing awareness of domestic violence is fundamental. The first step in comprehending abuse cycles is awareness.

Understanding what to do and where to go if you are in a DV relationship. Family Services is a beacon of hope, a call to action and a reminder that, collectively, we can work toward a better society where everyone can live free from abuse. Through fostering dialogue, awareness, and community engagement around domestic violence, we become a united front against abuse. By coming together, we are creating safer, more inclusive environments and building safe communities.

Our goal is to make the community safer and more knowledgeable. Domestic violence classes give you all the information and resources you need to start down the right path. These sessions can give you lots of information, and sometimes it can help to have someone to help you work through the information, as well as someone to talk through your experiences with.

You are not alone.
