Hubbard House: Isolation, fear can create ‘perfect storm’ for domestic abuse

Jacksonville, FL — Some experts say victims are like prisoners in their own homes during quarantine.

“We’re talking about a horrible situation. People who normally might be able to call us, reach out to us, stop at our outreach center or go to work and look online to find how they can get help are prisoners in their own home,” Hubbard House CEO Gail Patin, EdD, LCSW, said.

Anyone who needs help and can safely get away from their abuser is asked to call the Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-500-1119 or Hubbard House in Jacksonville at (904) 354-3114.
