Restraining Order Information

Finding stable housing after leaving an unsafe situation often requires both emotional support and practical guidance. Housing advocacy resources can help survivors think through shelter options, referrals, documentation, benefits, financial assistance, and longer-term stability planning.

Housing Advocacy

Teen dating violence can affect students, families, schools, and communities. New Jersey requires dating violence education in grades 7–12, and the New Jersey Department of Education provides resources for educators and families to help students understand the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships.
