Ask The DA: Brooklyn Family Justice Center
I am writing to ask for advice on behalf of a friend whose boyfriend is verbally abusive. I would like to suggest a place for my friend to call to get counseling. Is there a place that I can suggest she go for help?
I have responded to letters such as yours asking about where a domestic violence victim could seek help in the past. This is an issue that is very important to me as I saw firsthand what domestic violence did to my mother and family.
As a result, I have made it a priority to be proactive in this arena, and to make sure that my domestic violence bureau prosecutes offenders vigorously, and assists victims of domestic violence in as many ways as possible.
