We created a new section with six questions on Emotional and Psychological abuse where we discuss what this term refers to as well as signs and forms of this type abuse, the effects it can have on a victim and alternatives for victims and survivors of this behavior. Spanish coming soon!
We added the a new program to our New York Local Programs page called Community Connections “First Step to New Beginnings” Program in English. Spanish coming soon!
With the help of the Animal Welfare Institute, we updated the pet-related links on our Helping Others - Advocates page, deleting outdated manuals and adding a link to Animal Welfare Institute’s state manuals regarding pets and protection orders. We also added a link to Don’t Forget the Pets‘ manual for advocates. All changes made in English and Spanish.
We translated into Spanish our updated Tennessee State Gun Laws section.
