Breaking the Cycle of Intimate Partner Violence
Domestic Violence Resources for Emergency
Medical Services professionals

You can help. Domestic violence is found in every community.
As an EMS provider you probably have already responded to a call that involved domestic
violence. It's important for you to know how to keep yourself safe. It's also important to
know that there are many reasons a victim cannot leave a dangerous situation. But when the
victim does decide to leave, he or she needs to know there is a well-defined
support
system ready to help. You can be part of this support system and can help victims who are
ready for help, find the support they need.
