A local nonprofit dedicated to rebuilding the lives of domestic violence survivors wants you to know they’re here to help.
Tracey Lyall, CEO, says Domestic Violence Intervention Services has been in Tulsa for over 45 years.
“We can help with safety planning, with someone who is considering leaving an abusive relationship. We can also help friends or family members who believe someone they love is an abusive relationship if they need some guidance on how to approach that,” said Lyall. “It’s devastating for us to hear that we’re losing lives to domestic violence in Tulsa."
Lyall said domestic violence has been bad in the city lately, with several shooting deaths of women happening over the past few weeks.
Latest data available from the state show domestic violence rates in Oklahoma overall are the highest they’ve been in 20 years.
