Addressing Stalking: A Checklist for Domestic and Sexual Violence Organizations
Because there are very few stalking-specific service providers, stalking victims rely on domestic and/or sexual violence programs to assist them with safety planning and resources. In reviewing your agency’s response to stalking, consider the following questions:
- Does your organization provide services to victims of stalking?
- If so, how easy is it for a stalking victim to know they can seek services from your organization? For instance, is stalking specifically mentioned in your outreach materials?
- Do your organization’s services address the needs of all victims of stalking – including those stalked by someone who is not an intimate partner?
