Town Officials declared October Domestic Violence Awareness Month throughout the Town of North Hempstead.
Domestic violence is a pattern of behavior used to establish power and control over another person through fear and intimidation, often including the threat or use of violence. It can include physical, emotional, psychological, financial, and/or sexual abuse.
The Safe Center LI hotline – (516) 542-0404 — operates 24 hours per day and seven days per week for domestic violence victims. The Safe Center services victims of domestic and dating violence, child abuse, rape and sexual assault and human trafficking.
