Georgia Latinos Against Domestic Violence (GLADV)
This program provides culturally responsive support for Latinos affected by domestic violence, sexual abuse, or other violent crimes. Services include safety planning, case management, and individual support, along with support groups that help participants build confidence, heal, and recognize healthy relationships.
The program also offers advocate trainings to strengthen community response and access to immigration legal support for those who qualify. Through education, resources, and a safe space, Ser Familia empowers individuals and families to break the cycle of violence and move toward safety and healing.
Help Is Available
Domestic violence is not always visible. While physical abuse may be easier to recognize, emotional and psychological abuse often goes unnoticed and is more common than many realize. Fear, uncertainty, or the desire to avoid conflict can cause individuals to stay silent—but you are not alone, and you do not have to accept it.
Abuse can take many forms, including physical harm, manipulation, control, and intimidation. Even what may seem like “minor” actions—such as a slap, grabbing, or pulling—are not acceptable.
There is help available. Across the country, organizations and programs exist to support you, provide resources, and help you make safe, informed decisions for yourself and your family. Domestic violence is never normal and should never be tolerated.
Break the cycle. Do not stay silent.
If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
