If you are being abused or feel threatened by a boyfriend or girlfriend, there are several places to go for help, including the police. Other agencies in the Dutchess County area where help can be found include: Crime Victims Assistance Program of Family Services – 452-1110 Battered Women’s Services of Family Services – 24-hour hotline 485-5550 Grace Smith House – 471-3033 If you have a Department of Social Services case manager, he or she can help you get the assistance you need. Remember, the first step to getting help is to tell someone about the abusive or threatening situation. If you stay quiet hoping these things will change, the situation is likely to just continue or get worse.
