City to increase supports for domestic violence

We’re grateful to see the city’s report highlighting domestic violence as an underreported and serious issue to bring attention. Michael Reese Health Trust has supported cross-sector collaborations to address survivor needs for many years and we fully support the mayor’s intention to focus on prevention efforts and community empowerment.

“Although it does not garner the same level of media attention, the incidence of domestic violence is actually greater than that of community or gun violence,” according to Lightfoot’s report, which was to be released publicly Tuesday morning.
