While domestic violence is a form of abuse, it has its own separate issues. I didn't realize this until I got training in it. There are just a whole set of issues not covered by general areas, and yet they are characteristic of the experience. So things like safety plans, how to deal with legal or police issues, what to do with children because if it is reported a CPS report for child abuse might result, need for shelter, money, and transportation. All sorts of things as well as the psychological issues and need for support there. It seems that survivors could give support to those in active interpersonal violence situation and there could also be mutual support since one of the issues so much a feature is isolation and fear of breaking the silence.
