        General Info
        SWIC (Schuylkill Women In Crisis) seeks to assist women in situations that are dangerous or unsuitable for them and/or their children. Our programs are free, confidential and provided to all victims regardless of sex. Domestic abuse happens to individuals of every age, race, religion, economic class, education, profession, or sexual orientation. No one is immune to this problem. Most victims of domestic violence, however, are women. Domestic abuse happens so frequently that it has been cited by the U.S. Surgeon General as the leading health risk to women. Domestic violence occurs within a family or intimate relationship as a way to control another person. Because of fear and the stigma that has historically been associated with domestic violence, many victims have chosen to keep the silence. Domestic violence typically increases in frequency and severity over time. Domestic violence occurs within a family or intimate relationship when one person exercises power and control over the other(s) through a pattern of intentional behaviors, including psychological, emotional, economic/property, physical, sexual abuse., and pet abuse. Victims suffer physical injury, live in fear in their homes and lose power over their lives.Hotline number available 24/7 phone number 570 622 6220
