Domestic Violence Resources Available

UNITY President Julian McElveen attended a local mental health panel during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and wants to make sure information is available to anyone in need.

“There have been many public reports of domestic violence throughout our area and country this year. We cannot turn a blind eye to it in our communities. Domestic abuse is a vastly underreported and under-prosecuted crime. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, don’t be afraid to reach out for help.”

Montgomery County Police Department Emergency – 911
Non-Emergency – 301-279-8000
Domestic Violence Unit – 240-773-5050

The Montgomery County Police will respond to calls for emergency assistance, take reports, investigate crimes, respond to violations of a court order and a variety of other services.

If you or someone you know needs help, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is available 24/7 at 1-800-799-SAFE (7223) or by texting “START” to 88788.
