Answersheet: North Carolina Salon Professionals 2019

Domestic violence is also called spousal abuse, battering, or intimate partner violence (IPV).

According to the CDC's National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, more than 1 in 3 women (37.3%) and nearly 1 in 3 men (30.9%) in the United States have experienced contact sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime.

High self-esteem is a risk factor for domestic violence.

The biggest reason that a victim of domestic violence stays in an abusive relationship is fear.

When interacting with a client who has disclosed abuse, the salon professional should try to fix the problem or become a counselor.
