In a recent study, Urban Institute researchers interviewed 54 domestic violence survivors, shining new light on resilience and hope among survivors. Understanding the people and things that are most important for survivors’ resilience and hope can inform how we understand their journeys of recovery, healing, and justice.
“Lifting resilience and hope is essential for creating safe and healthy relationships and healing communities,” said Rev. Kim Lagree. According to DomesticHealers.org, there are currently four domestic violence and abuse shelters and programs in Baltimore, MD, with four offering a hotline and four offering emergency shelter. On the outskirts of Baltimore, you can also find help at 54 domestic violence and abuse shelters and programs in places like Dundalk, Towson, and Pikesville.
“Resilience and hope are real,” said Rosheda Harrell Brockington, Chief Operating Officer. “Find the location of domestic violence programs in your city and share it with someone who truly needs it.”
