That's why we have residential shelters and we have a lot of different parts of that program that can help and it juts depends from state to state. I know that in the state of Texas, we allow woman to stay at a shelter for up to a month with her children. So she can get back on her feet and so she can you know either find a job or find temporary housing or whatever the situation may be and we help these women get back on their feet. So you know there is financial assistance available for women and they should definitely consider that when there are in situations.
We also have a website, www.ndvh.org, which stands for the National Domestic Violence Hotline. You can go on there and there are facts from around the country, there are statistics, there are signs to look out for, and there are resources that are available for friends and family members. We have all sorts of stuff on our website where people, either victims or friends and family members, can log on and really get the answers they need without having to call in.
