The Need Has Grown
Each year, we provided, often lifesaving, services to more than 5,600 clients from our
office and safe house in Hartford, our site in Manchester and support services both
east and west of the Connecticut River. More than 30,000 people heard about Interval
House and learned about domestic violence through our outreach and education efforts.
At Interval House we stand with abused women, men and children in their struggle for
safety and justice and we strive to prevent and to break the cycle of abuse. We offer
safety planning, options, support and connections to community resources to victims.
We give them the tools to empower themselves.
There Is Help … You Are Not Alone
Domestic violence occurs in an intimate relationship or family setting when one person
maintains power over the other by using a pattern of controlling and abusive behavior.
The abuse may be emotional, verbal or physical. Victims may feel scared, confused,
dependent, and insecure. Physical or sexual assault of an intimate partner – or the threat
of – is a crime. Domestic violence destroys the body, the spirit, the family and the future
for thousands of victims each year. Victims are often ashamed to let anyone know about
abuse and that is why domestic violence thrives in silence. There is NEVER an excuse
for abuse. The only person responsible for the tragedy of domestic violence is the abuser.
Intervention and education is the key to stopping this insidious cycle of violence.
Hartford Interval House (IH) is the
largest domestic violence agency
in the state of Connecticut. We
are a dedicated and passionate
group of staff, board members and
volunteers who pride themselves on
tirelessly working to end domestic
violence. Since 1977, we have
made a positive difference in
the lives of more than 225,000
women, men and children who
have experienced psychological,
emotional and physical
abuse at the hands of a
domestic or intimate
partner.
Working To End Domestic
Violence Since 1977.
