JBI acted as a (homicide prevention) crisis intervention counselor, assisting victims of Domestic Violence who had filed police reports, called, or walked into the precincts looking for assistance. JBI's job included finding emergency shelters, and helping NYC women and children to begin the long process of transforming from VICTIM into SURVIVOR, through moral support, and finding them counseling and services.
JBI helped them to navigate within the "SYSTEM" (the Police, NYCHA Public Housing, the courts, and Children's Services) and to BREAK THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE!
Hopefully, they all made it out alive!

Yes, it happens to MEN, too!
And people of ALL genders, as well!
CHANCES ARE SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP!
The one you lost contact with, right after they hooked up with So and So...who can no longer "hang out" with you unless their jealous other half is around...who seems sad...who has become isolated...
All too often there is physical violence in addition to the psychological, social, emotional, sexual, financial, or even medical abuse.
WOMEN who LEAVE their BATTERERS are 75% MORE LIKELY to be KILLED by the ABUSER than those who STAY!
In one of six marriages the WIFE is being ABUSED!
