Domestic violence has many emotional repercussions for its victims. According to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, survivors are 3 times as likely to meet the criteria for PTSD and 3 times more likely to be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder.
During #DVAM, we empower victims to seek support from domestic violence advocates and state agencies. Visit the link for a list of California state departments that provide direct services for victims and what they offer: https://victims.ca.gov/for-victims/state-services/
