Domestic Violence Definition:
Domestic violence or abuse comes in many forms and
disguises. Forms of abuse can be emotional,
psychological, sexual and physical. It can include
assault, stalking, battery, kidnapping and so on of one
family or household member by another who is living in
the same home. It can be a pattern of assaultive and
controlling behaviors that one person uses against
another in order to gain power in the relationship. The
abuser intentionally behaves in ways that cause fear,
degradation and humiliation to control the other
person.
Our services are free and available 24 hours a day.
