Regardless of what's going on, we want you to know that we're here and we care, and free, confidential help is available.
Stay-at-home orders during the COVID-19 pandemic have created a particularly tough situation for survivors of domestic violence. In this eye-opening episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters', host Maria Shilaos sits down with Jennifer Oxborrow, Executive Director of the Utah Domestic Violence Coalition, to discuss the alarming 33% increase in domestic violence calls and the resources available to those in need. Jennifer sheds light on the various forms of help accessible 24/7, including confidential support in over 100 languages via their helpline.
She emphasizes that comprehensive community-based programs across Utah are ready to assist, even if one program is at capacity. The episode dives into critical risk factors for lethal intimate partner violence, such as increased isolation and control by the abuser, a history of physical violence, and access to lethal means. Jennifer also provides valuable advice for loved ones on how to support someone they suspect is experiencing domestic violence.
She highlights the importance of trauma-informed conversations and offers practical tips on how to start these difficult discussions. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complexities of domestic violence during these challenging times and learn how to offer effective support.
