Are You in an abusive relationship? Let us help you!
Intimate partner violence can occur in many different forms.
Regardless of whether it is physical, emotional or takes some other form, abuse often follows an escalating pattern in which the controlling behaviors worsen over time. The abusive partner may use oppression systems already set in our society to assert his or her privileges against the other person. If you are experiencing this and you need domestic violence support, we are here to help.

- Hitting, slapping, punching, kicking

- Name calling, insulting
