Consider a situation that many advocates are familiar with:
You answer the call or chat, and the contact wants support for an issue of family violence that does not involve an intimate partner. You compassionately explain to the contact that we actually focus specifically on intimate partner violence, although you can look for resources that may help with their specific situation. The contact, confused, says, “But I thought you’re the National Domestic Violence Hotline, and isn’t this domestic violence?”
How Do You Respond?
