What to do if you are experiencing domestic violence:

Reach out. WEAVE Advocates are available to you on the 24-Hour Support and Information Line, 916.920.2952, for support and will not judge you. Call 911 if you are in immediate danger.

Talk to Someone:
- WEAVE offers individual and group counseling - available to all survivors of intimate partner / domestic violence: male, female, teen, lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender and queer.
- WEAVE also offers individual victim witness and sliding scale private pay counseling for youths ages 4 to 17 who have witnessed domestic violence.

You Are Not Alone. To access domestic violence counseling services, we ask that you attend a Triage Assessment session. The triage assessment process involves talking to a WEAVE Advocate who helps assess your level of danger, helps you prepare a safety plan and provides referrals for appropriate services.

In the last year alone, 197 women and 168 children sought confidential shelter at WEAVE's Safehouse and 75 of these women and children call Elk Grove home. Many other victims from Elk Grove do not require use of WEAVE’s Safehouse but do choose to leave the violent relationship and find a new home.
