Domestic Abuse Facts and Resources
Are you a victim of domestic abuse?
Has your spouse or former spouse, a household member or former household member, roommates, relative or minor child, the parent of your minor child, or anyone whom you have had a substantive dating relationship with attempted to or is causing you physical harm?
Has anyone placed you in fear of imminent serious physical harm or caused you to engage involuntarily in sexual relations by force, threat or duress?
If you find yourself answering yes to any of these questions, or know someone who is in danger, it is time to get help. No one deserves to be beaten or threatened with harm.
