Update: See Palm Beach County's Domestic Violence Coordinated Community Response Website
The PBC CARES page was created as an educational and empowerment tool for victims, survivors, and anyone seeking to better understand domestic violence. This is a resource that you can share with clients who might benefit from learning more about the dynamics of abuse, assessing their own relationship, or exploring safety planning resources at their own pace. It can also be a helpful conversation starter during advocacy and support services.
