11 Domestic Violence Resource Centers for Pregnant women

Yesterday’s news came that the National Football League and

its team the Baltimore Ravens suspended

player Ray Rice over video evidence

he knocked out his then girlfriend, now wife Jayna Rice in an elevator last year while the couple were at an Atlantic City,

New Jersey casino.  It has been the

subject of much conversation online, in social media and at water coolers at

office spaces nationwide.
We wanted to chime in to share resources for women who are

pregnant or have children and are currently in situations where they are being

battered or abused emotionally or physically, who may not know there are resources

out there that can help them get out those situations or provide counseling and

support.
If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence,

please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-SAFE (7233),  800-787-3224 TTY or find them online www.thehotline.org.
