No one deserves to be beaten or hurt at home. The violence is not your fault. You did not make it happen. You are not alone.
You have choices. There are people to help and support you. You have legal choices, too, because domestic violence is a crime.
If you or your children are involved in a relationship in which you are being hurt and abused, listed below are places you
can call for help. For other forms of family violence, see additional resources listed.
