Domestic Violence Survivor/Advocate/Author, Donna M. Savage Establishes Domestic Violence Services Specifically for Abusers, with the First National 24 Hour Abuser Hotline (888) SOS-ABUSER

 

 

Survivor/Advocate/Author Donna Savage Speaks Out!

 

Flanders, New Jersey, July 12, 2010 – Donna Savage is the Founder/Executive Director of The Domestic Violence and AIDS Mission of New Jersey 501(c)3 Nonprofit Corporation.  The Organization was established with a focus on domestic violence abusers and connecting them with vital services such as counseling, prayer and suicide hotlines, drug/alcohol programs, anger management, etc., before it’s too late. 

 

Ms. Savage adamantly states, “I look forward to all of my advocacy work, with one goal in mind…to save lives from being taken by the heinous crime of domestic violence.  Many are  entangled in the vicious cycle of abuse with the death toll rising everyday, all across the world.  I am relentless in my mission to continue to make a positive difference in the statistics.  If we don’t get abusers the crucial, volunteer help they desperately need, we will never break the violent cycle and many more lives will be lost.  An abuser will not call a Victim’s Hotline…they need a dedicated hotline, with confidentiality.  Even if we help one abuser to turn his/her life around to become non violent, we could possibly save more than one life.  The services DVAMNJ offers to domestic violence abusers is unprecedented and we look forward to seeing our mission accomplished!”

 

The Domestic Violence and AIDS Mission of New Jersey 501(c)3 Nonprofit Corporation has just launched its new website WWW.DVAMNJ.ORG  Two of the services established by the organization are specifically for abusers… “The Real Man Campaign: Man to Man Advocacy Program and the National 24 Hour Abuser Hotline (888) SOS-ABUSER.  Both of these services will work in conjunction with each other, utilizing male advocates for male abusers.  DVAMNJ is currently looking for volunteers to help with all of the services offered.  We are an AIDS awareness organization as well as domestic violence.  Contact the agency for further details and/or visit the website.

    We commend The Domestic Violence and AIDS Mission of New Jersey for their outreach and dedication to this issue! We need more resources to reach the root of the problem and this program will set precedence and hopefully set a standard. This is not easy work of course but similar to helping those with addictions to drugs or alcohol, likewise, abusers can be helped too.
