I know someone in a crisis situation, but she doesn't speak English.

We can still help! A lot of our staff is Spanish bilingual, and those who aren't have the knowledge to operate Google translate. CVP will network with local colleges for a translator to assist with case management.

Why don't victims just "leave"?

• Fear of reprisals, shame, or humiliation keeps victims trapped in violent homes.

• Batterers commonly deny responsibility for their behavior by blaming the victim for the abuse.

• Victims receive strong incentives to stay, such as threats of harm and threats against the victim's children, friends, and family.

• Victims are urged to responsibility from violence and be blamed.

• By seeking help from community agencies, victims are too often given answers that encourage them to meet with the aggressor or minimize abuse.

• The victims are subjected and discouraged by the failed search for help and learn to suffer in silence and isolation.
