Support for victims of domestic violence

The San Diego County Domestic Violence Fatality Review Team tracks all domestic violence-related homicides, with San Diego County averaging 13 a year. In 2019, more than 17,000 domestic violence reports were made to law enforcement.

The Family Justice Center (part of the City Attorney’s Office) is comprised of therapists, pro bono attorneys, forensic medical nurses, military liaisons, prosecutors, and police officers who assist in these matters.

Additionally, it reports, victims should create a “safety plan” before seeking a restraining order. Typically, the first 72 hours after a restraining order is granted can be the most dangerous for victims of domestic violence.

A safety plan includes:

• Knowing a safe place to go if an argument occurs; avoid rooms with no exits (bathroom), or rooms with weapons (kitchen).

• Making a list of safe people to contact.

• Teaching your children how to call 9-1-1.

• Memorizing all important numbers (friends, social security, etc.)

• Establishing a “code word” or “sign” so family, friends, teachers or co-workers know when to call for help.

If you or someone you know wants to learn more, call the domestic violence hotline at 1 (800) 799-7233 or visit thehotline.org and more resources can be found at sandiegoda.com (click on helping victims)
