 Risk Factors YOU 
Can Not Control 
Do you have a family history of 
violence ? 

Did your father hit, slap, kick your 
mother ? 

Are you a survivor of sexual assault 
or incest ? 

Were you abused as a child ? 

Have you been hit, kicked by your 
partner ? 

If you answered "yes" to any one of the questions, you are at risk for domestic violence. The more questions answered "yes" to the higher your risk of domestic violence is in the future. 
 

Risk Factors You 
Can Control 

Are you aware of community resources 

available if you are abused? 

Do you talk about your feelings ? 

Do you have friends, support persons 
to talk with ? 

Do you avoid alcohol abuse ? 

Do you have a skill or occupation for 
financial support ? 

Do you feel there are dangers in 
having a gun in your home ? 
 

If you answered "no" to any one of the above questions, you are at-risk for domestic violence. The more questions you answered "no" to, the higher your risk of domestic violence. 

If you are concerned about domestic violence, talk to your nurse, physician, police officer, or an area women's shelter worker. Or, call the Sheriff's Department at 713-221-6000 for an after the fact situation or 9-1-1 for an in progress situation. Don't become a statistic - make someone aware of your situation and seek help. Help is out there - you must alert someone to your need. There are places to go with your children - call and ask for help - now. 

DID YOU KNOW ?

Cypress Creek Emergency Medical Service Association (CCEMSA) has implemented a Medic on Bikes (MOB program). The MOB program is intended to be utilized in areas where several hundred people have gathered and it would be difficult to maneuver an ambulance quickly through the crowd. In this program, the MOB First Responder would be available to respond quickly to the victim and begin emergency medical procedures while the ambulance is enroute and working their way through a crowd. 

If this program is of interest, call the Assistant Executive Director, Jeff Goethe at 281-440-9650 for details. Event must be located in CCEMSA's territory to qualify.
