Give each adult seeking assistance, including payees in child only cases and teen heads of household, information concerning family violence and the services available to deal with the issue. At a minimum, provide written materials to the adult. This can include the Family Violence Option brochure (Attachment 2, DSS-6967) or written materials obtained from local domestic violence programs or other agencies. If there is evidence of family violence, workers are strongly urged to provide verbal information as well.
