YWCA domestic violence hotline.

Domestic violence calls increase during the holidays. The director of victim services for the YWCA said 20% of the calls they receive throughout the year are in November and December. Financial stress, traveling and preparing for family can add pressure. Alcohol and drug use can increase the pattern of violent behavior. The YWCA also has a 24/7 domestic violence hotline that can be called at 419-241-7386.
