State Health Officials Launch Public
Domestic violence is the willful
intimidation, physical assault,
battery, sexual assault, and/or
other abusive behavior as part
of a systematic pattern of power
and control perpetrated by a
family member against another. It
includes physical violence, sexual
violence, psychological violence,
and emotional abuse. The frequency
and severity of domestic violence
can vary dramatically; however,
the one constant component of
domestic violence is one partner's
consistent efforts to maintain power
and control over the other.
Domestic violence is an epidemic
affecting individuals in every
community, regardless of age,
economic status, sexual orientation,
gender, race, religion, or
nationality. It is often accompanied
by emotionally abusive and
controlling behavior that is only a
fraction of a systematic pattern of
dominance and control. Domestic
violence can result in physical
injury, psychological trauma, and
in severe cases, even death. The
devastating physical, emotional,
and psychological consequences
of domestic violence can cross
g~ner~!wns a~ct last a lifetime.
It is not always easy to
determine in the early stages of
a relationship if one person will
become abusive. Domestic violence
intensifies over time. Abusers may
often seem wonderful and perfect
initially, but gradually become
more aggressive and controlling
as the relationship continues.
Abuse may begin with behaviors
that may easily be dismissed or
downplayed such as name-calling,
threats, possessiveness, or distrust.
Abusers may apologize profusely
for their actions or try to convince
the person they are abusing that
they do these things out of love or
care. However, violence and control
always intensifies over time with an
abuser, despite the apologies. What
may start out as something that
was first believed to be harmless
(e.g., wanting the victim to spend
all their time only with them
because, they love them so much)
escalates into extreme control and
abuse (e.g., threatening to kill or
hurt the victim or others if they
speak to family, friends, etc.). Some
examples of abusive tendencies
include but are not limited to:
Telling the victim that they can
never do anything right
Showing jealousy of the victim's
family and friends and time spent
away
Accusing the victim of cheating
Keeping or discouraging the
victim from seeing friends or family
members
Embarrassing or shaming the
victim with put-downs
Controlling every penny spent
in the household
Taking the victim's money or
refusing to give them money for
expenses
Looking at or acting in ways
that scare the person they are
abusing
Controlling who the victim sees,
where they go, or what they do
Dictating how the victim
dresses, wears their hair, etc.
Stalking the victim: or
monitoring the~ victim'a: e~ery
move (in person or also via the
internet and/or other devices such
as GPS tracking or the victim's
phone)
Preventing the victim from
making their own decisions
Telling the victim that they are
a bad parent or threatening to hurt,
kill, or take away their children
Threatening to hurt or kill the
victim's friends, loved ones, or pets
Intimidating the victim with
guns, knives, or other weapons
Pressuring the victim to have
sex when they don't want to or to
do things sexually they are not
comfortable with
Forcing sex with others
Refusing to use protection
when having sex or sabotaging
birth control
Pressuring or forcing the victim
to use drugs or alcohol
Preventing the victim from
working or attending school,
harassing the Victim at either,
keeping their victim up all night so
they perform badly at their job or
in school
Destroying the victim's
property
It is important to note that
domestic violence does not always
manifest as physical abuse.
Emotional and psychological abuse
can often be just as extreme as
physical violence. Lack of physical
violence does not mean the abuser
is any less dangerous to the victim,
nor does it mean the victim is any
less trapped by the abuse.
Additionally, domestic violence
does not always end when the
victim escapes the abuser, tries to
terminate the relationship, and/
or seeks help. Often, it intensifies
because the abuser feels a loss of
control over the victim. Abusers
frequently continue to stalk,
harass, threaten, and try to control
the victim after the victim escapes.
In fact, the victim is often in the
most danger directly following the
escape of the relationship or when
they seek he!p: 1/5 of homicide
,_v~etims with restraining, orders
are murdered within two days
of obtaining the order; 1/3 are
murdered within ihe first month.
Unfair blame is frequently put
upon the victim of abuse because of
assumptions that victims choose to
stay in abusive relationships. The
truth is, bringing an end to abuse is
not a matter of the victim choosing
to leave; it is a matter of the victim
being able to safely escape their
abuser, the abuser choosing to
stop the abuse, or others (e.g., law
enforcement, courts) holding the
abuser accountable for the abuse
they inflict.

risk for flu complications. The

our loved ones from the flu this

conditions," said Gupta.

fight the flu:
Wash your hands frequently,.

Senator Joe Manchin issued the
following statement after voting in
support of the continuing resolution
that failed to pass the Senate.
"I'm disappointed in my
colleagues for failing to pass this
critical legislation that addresses
two of the most dire issues
facing West Virginians - helping
communities rebuild from natural
disasters and providing additional
funding to combat the opioid
epidemic.
The funding bill that the Senate
failed to pass today includes up to
$500 million to support disaster
recovery efforts nationwide,
including many West Virginia
communities impacted by the June
floods. Although the flood waters
have receded, West Virginians
still have a great deal of work to
do rebuilding homes, businesses,
schools and communities.
This funding would go a long way
towards supporting those efforts.
In addition to supporting flood
recovery efforts, this billincludes $7
million to fight the opioid epidemic
that is taking lives in communities
all across our state.
Virginians receive the support they
deserve."
'~lnnis bilrs failure is the sad result
of a broken system in Washington
- one where we wait until a crisis
to do our work and then can't find
common sense compromises to
deliver the solutions Americans
need,
As a Governor and Senator, I
know what it takes to keep our
state and country working.
I hope my colleagues can find
that spirit in the next 3 days, so
I will continue to look for ways to that we can do our jobs and deliver
work with my colleagues to ensure the help West Virginians have been
this funding bill passes and West waiting for far too long."

protect you and your family, but
also residents among our most
vulnerable population, including
young children, pregnant women,
adults 65 years and older, as

Capito Secures Flood Relief Measure in Final
Government Funding Bill
Senator Shelley Moore Capito
(R-W.Va.) September 28, 2016
voted for a short-term government
funding bill that includes up to $500
million in disaster relief funding
for West Virginia and other states
impacted by flooding.
Senator Capito was instrumental
in securing the flood relief funding
in the final bill, which passed the
Senate on a 72-26 vote.
With this bill, West Virginia will
be eligible for new funding through
the Com~h-~nity Development Block
Grant program to address flood-
r~lated recovery needs.
'West Virginia was ravaged by a
natural disaster that tore through
our communities and uprooted
the lives of our state's residents in
June.
The commonsense measure I
supported today takes the right
steps to address flood recovery in
disaster stricken portions of West
Virginia and Other states," said
Senator Capito.
"I appreciate that my colleagues
recognized the thousands of people
and businesses in my state who
are recovering and supported my
efforts to get them the assistance
they need.
The road to recovery will be a
long one and as we go forward, I
will continue to help those in my
state rebuild."
In addition to funding for flood
recovery, the continuing resolution
legislation funds the government
through December 9th.
The bill also includes record
funding for our nation's veterans,
