Community Action Partnership of Madera County

Domestic Violence

If you or someone you know has experienced intimate partner violence, please call our 24-Hour Crisis Hotline. We are here to support you.

What is Domestic Violence?

Domestic violence is a pattern of abuse that occurs between intimate partners. The abuse can be physical, psychological, emotional, verbal, and/or sexual.

If you are in an abusive relationship with a current or past partner, please be aware that leaving the relationship is when the most violent acts occur. It is important to create a safety plan when you decide to leave the relationship.

What is a Safety Plan? | The Hotline

If these experiences are part of your life, you are not alone, and help is available.​

If you are being abused by your partner, Community Action Partnership of Madera County’s (CAPMC) Victim Services (VS) can help you. Our staff is compassionate and experienced, and our goal is to ensure that you and your children are safe. We understand how painful it is to live with abuse and how difficult it can be to talk about your situation. You might feel hopeless, desperate, confused, and alone; you may not want to tell people about your situation because you feel afraid, ashamed, or embarrassed.
