New help for victims of economic abuse announced

Effective this month, the State Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence will begin distributing informational materials on economic abuse.

Informational materials for victims and survivors of domestic- and gender-based violence will include connections to housing resources, local social service offices, and more to help individuals attain safety and stability.

According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, more than 90 percent of survivors of domestic violence have suffered economic abuse, but many people do not see themselves as being in an abusive relationship if they are not being physically harmed.
