Domestic Violence
Domestic violence can affect anyone including people with disabilities. If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, help is available. New Jersey offers hotlines, shelters, counseling, legal assistance, and advocacy services to support individuals in finding safety and accessing the resources they need. These services can help with emergency planning, protective orders, housing, emotional support, and connections to local/state programs. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
