Being An Air Force Wife

The Friday Four is a list of four things of whatever you want! It can be four that happened during the week, four funny jokes, four chores you are putting off, whatever you would like!

With this being the month of Domestic Violence Awareness, my Friday Four will be four websites that provide help, relief and education for anyone suffering from abuse or just wanting to learn more.

1.) National Coalition Against Domestic Violence is a wonderful website that provides an endless supply of resources, facts and workshops. It is a national program that can help a victim, no matter where they are located. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence also has the Remember My Name Memorial.

Remember My Name Project::

The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), in conjunction with Ms. Magazine, started this project in 1994 to create a national registry of names to increase public awareness of domestic violence deaths. Since then, NCADV has continued to collect information on incidents of women who have been killed by an intimate partner and produces a poster each year for Domestic Violence Awareness Month listing the names of those submitted. We are hoping to create as complete a registry as possible of women who have lost their lives due to domestic violence. If you know of a woman who was killed due to domestic violence, please contact them.

2.) The National Domestic Violence Hotline is a website that helps women to reach out and get help! The help can come in the form of a telephone call or e-mail, whatever works for each individual. They can connect you to local help in your town, and they even have a section for teenagers.

3.) Love is Respect is the National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline. It is a national resource that can be accessed by phone or the internet. The Helpline and love is respect website offer real-time one-on-one support from trained Peer Advocates. The National Domestic Violence Hotline operates love is respect, National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline from their call center in Austin, TX. Peer Advocates are trained to offer support, information and advocacy to those involved in dating abuse relationships as well as concerned parents, teachers, clergy, law enforcement, and service providers.

4.) For military wives, you can always turn to your installations Airmen and Family Readiness Center , formerly called Family Support Center, for advice or help. If you need help in finding your Airmen and Family Readiness Center (A&FRC), you can turn to the DoD website.
