With October being Domestic Violence Awareness Month, representatives from BHCare and The Umbrella Center spoke with the North Haven Rotary Club about helping victims. The club members learned that it takes someone an average of seven attempts to leave a domestically abusive relationship. If you believe someone is in such a relationship, don’t try to force them out, said Kelli Carr of The Umbrella Center, but give them emotional support, along with information for The Umbrella Center for Domestic Violence Services, which has two crisis hotline numbers: 203-736-9944 and 203-789-8104.
