Dallas Mavericks Healthy Relationship & Domestic Violence Support

Through healthy relationship initiatives, domestic violence prevention support, and providing access to critical resources, the Dallas Mavericks come together to help those in need in North Texas. The Mavericks raise awareness to never commit, condone, or remain silent about violence against women in order to create safe places within homes in our community.

Domestic violence occurs when one person in a relationship tries to establish power and control over the other through a pattern of intentional behaviors that can include physical, psychological, emotional and sexual abuse. Each year more than 180 thousand domestic violence incidents are reported in Texas. An unhealthy relationship can affect anyone.
Domestic Abuse Defined

Apart but not Alone during COVID -19
The perfect storm for dangerous situations at home has been created during COVID-19. Additional stress, financial strain, close proximity, lack of resources and isolation foster an environment for dangerous things to happen behind closed doors. Teachers, Doctors, neighbors and other referral sources are seeing families less and less – disabling strong support systems to report abuse situations.

In these times of physical distancing:

  • Check in on your neighbors and friends
  • If you know someone who may be in danger, provide code words to send via social media, text or other signals to alert you to any distress
  • Report suspected child abuse by calling the Texas Abuse Hotline at 1-800-252-5400 or direct to 911
