<\/div>\n
A new report by the National Commission on COVID-19 and Criminal Justice shows that domestic violence has increased by 8.1%.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This all during the 2020 pandemic and quarantine period.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Kim Kavern, the senior director of the Crime Victim Assistance Program<\/a> for Safe Horizon, says that tensions are high which results in an increase in domestic violence numbers.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“The pandemic has been very stressful for everyone and while stress doesn’t cause domestic violence it certainly increases its prevalence and the intensity, so I don’t think it was surprising to any of us to hear that rates increased over the past year,\u201d said Kavern.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Kavern wants people to know that help is available for free and completely confidential at any time.<\/div>\n

1. Consider Creating a Safety Plan<\/h2>\r\nA safety plan is a strategy\u00a0<\/span>you can use to minimize risks.\u00a0<\/span>Your safety plan can change as your\u00a0<\/span>specific\u00a0<\/span>concerns and situation change. <\/span>W<\/span>hile\u00a0<\/span>under\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>COVID-19 (Coronavirus)\u00a0<\/span>quarantine<\/span>, you may want to make changes to your safety plan to help keep you safe.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>For example, if physical violence often occurs in the kitchen at a specific time, a safety plan would outline alternative places and times\u00a0<\/span>you\u00a0<\/span>can\u00a0<\/span>plan to be\u00a0<\/span>to curb the violence while sheltering in place. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nWe always\u00a0<\/span>encourage<\/span> survivors to collaborate with an expert to create these plans.

3.
