What is domestic violence?
Domestic violence is a pattern
of abusive behaviors used by one individual to control or exert power over
another individual in the context of an intimate relationship.
Domestic
violence should not happen to anybody. Ever. Period.
But it does - and
when it does, there is help. Maybe you have lived with abuse, maybe it happened
just once; maybe you work or live next to someone who is being abused right now.
Whoever you are, you need to know how and where to get help. Don't be
afraid. Get Help!
