NNEDV provides trainings and resources that address statistics, prevalence, and public awareness of the issues impacting victims and their children, including:

• Frequently Asked Questions About Domestic Violence   [PDF file]
  What is domestic violence? What resources are available for victims? Why do some victims return to or stay with abusers? Do abusers show any potential warning signs? Is it possible for abusers to change? Are men victims of domestic violence? What can I do to help?
• Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Factsheet
  Highlights incidence, prevalence, and severity, impacts on children and youth, economic costs, progress made and the overwhelming needs that remain.
• The Impact of the Economy on Domestic Violence
  Although an economic downturn itself does not cause domestic violence, it can exacerbate the factors that contribute to domestic violence and reduce victims’ ability to flee.
• Domestic Violence Counts: National Census of Domestic Violence Services
  Started in 2006, this is NNEDV's annual noninvasive, unduplicated count of adults and children who seek services from U.S. domestic violence shelter programs during a single 24-hour survey period.
• Domestic Violence Shelters and the United States Census 2010
  The 2010 U.S. Census is coming in March 2010. Learn more about ways a survivor living in a domestic violence shelter can participate confidentially.
