Note to faith leaders using this packet: Feel free to use the materials that are provided in this packet as they best serve the people in your community. It is important that you inform people of your concern about domestic violence as well as telling them that you and various community and national agencies are available to help.

If you provide materials to a victim of domestic violence, please tell the person that it is important to store the materials in a safe place where the perpetrator won't see them.

We are happy to serve as consultants to help you get the maximum benefit from your packet. We can also tell you how to get additional copies of the enclosed materials or supplementary materials such as books, videos, or web site addresses. At the end of October, please fill out the enclosed evaluation form and return it to us at the address listed on the bottom of the page.
