Domestic violence still prevalent issue in our community
Domestic violence is still an issue that is prevalent in our communities and bringing awareness and education about abuse is a focus of Southern Valley Alliance. We would like to think it doesn’t happen in our community, but the truth is that domestic violence happens everywhere. It doesn’t discriminate based on location, race, age, faith, class, immigration status, language, physical ability, gender or sexual orientation. During the last year in Scott County, Southern Valley Alliance answered a total of 652 calls to provide immediate support and resources to people in crisis.
