This Blue-print is a tool to assist federally-funded Healthy Marriage initiatives develop a protocol describing how each will respond to domestic violence issues within their projects. While some similarities exist across funded sites, there are also significant variations related to key project partners, referral and referring agencies, services provided, and current domestic violence policies and practices within the funded agency itself. These variations affect how a site might approach assessing for domestic violence and then respond when domestic violence is disclosed or detected. Therefore, the domestic violence protocol developed by each Healthy Marriage initiative should be site-specific and tailored to reflect the particular characteristics of the community and project.
