Domestic Violence Resources

One in five women experience domestic violence at some time in their lives, and over 15 million children witness domestic violence each year. Given these statistics, fatherhood programs may be serving families where violence has been an issue. It is imperative that fatherhood programs establish protocols to address domestic violence and protect the safety of all family members, including children. Health and Human Services' funded State domestic violence coalitions are an important resource in building partnerships with domestic violence providers and developing protocols. The National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse (NRFC) has resources, training webinars, and more tools to help fatherhood programs address and combat the issue of domestic violence.
