SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - Victims of domestic violence often see an increase in abuse over the holidays.
However, at the home SAFE Shelter, the Center for Domestic Violence Services says the number of victims and families seeking their help donât typically increase until the new year.
The holiday season is typically a happy and joyous time to celebrate with loved ones but itâs not the same for victims of domestic violence across the country. The Executive Director of SAFE Shelter says right now, the number of families in their shelter are in the low 30â²s, but she says that could change after the holidays.
