Q: A young woman on our staff comes to work often with visible bruises, and last week a black eye. Her husband calls her frequently during the workday, sometimes as many as 10 times in one day. She always has a ready excuse for how the bruises happened. Several staff members have come to me voicing concern that she may be getting abused at home, and I have wondered the same thing myself.

Can I legally approach her and offer resources that are available in our area for battered women? – Jeanne, Florida
