Domestic Violence Resources

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Dec 15, 2020

In light of the recent allegations of domestic abuse surrounding actor Shia Labeouf, we take a look at resources for those facing intimate partner violence during this pandemic. Margarita Guzmán, executive director of the Violence Intervention Program, joins us to discuss the Latina-led organization’s 36-year history providing services to address domestic abuse and family violence in the New York area. VIP currently provides services to over 10,000 New York State residents. Guzmán joins us to discuss what services VIP offers, signs for friends and family members to pay attention to, and the impact of COVID-19 on domestic violence in the city, specifically on immigrant communities.
