By its very nature, intimate partner violence (IPV) is covert, purposely hidden in the underground, private places where there’s no light to see the wounds and no ears to hear the hate. Survivors rarely expose the abuse they experience because their abuser’s retaliation would only intensify and put their lives in danger.

It’s no wonder, given the intrinsic secretiveness of this issue, that employers need an employee assistance program dedicated to domestic violence. When an organization purchases Underground Moves, its team receives custom on-site training and education on employee outreach. As a result, the workplace is safer and more productive, and survivors get the services they need to thrive personally and professionally.
