Mission Statement
Educate Massachusetts employers on how to address domestic violence as a workplace issue.
What is Domestic Violence?
Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behavior used to gain power and control over a family member or intimate partner. Domestic violence can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic or psychological in nature.
Domestic Violence IS Everyone’s Business!
Domestic violence is a serious, recognizable, and preventable problem like thousands of other workplace health and safety issues that affect a business and its bottom line. Despite the name, domestic violence does not stay at home. The effects follow the victim through all aspects of their life, including their workplace.
