RESOLVE's October 2020 Initiatives

  • Build awareness of DV / IPV.
  • Highlight RESOLVE as a resource for DV / IPV services as well as community education and training.
  • Help survivors safely seek life-changing therapy.

The Facts

Domestic Violence / Intimate Partner Violence (DV / IPV)

  • DV / IPV affects 1 in 3 people.
  • Nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. This equates to more than 10 million individuals a year.
  • Survivors include all races, gender identities, sexual orientation, age, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

RESOLVE's Impact

  • RESOLVE applies a unique approach to eradicating DV / IPV by focusing on cutting edge therapy and community education. 
  • 90% of clients that complete our Survivor Transition Program (STP) do not return to their abuser nor do they enter another abusive relationship. 
  • We have provided services to nearly 4,000 DV / IPV survivors from Monroe and surrounding counties.
