IN AN EMERGENCY, CALL 911

If you are questioning whether you are in an abusive relationship, please look over this information. We are here to help you before your situation worsens. Once violence begins, it typically continues to increase in both frequency and severity. Battering is a crime. Do not stay in a relationship because of guilt, fear, pride, embarrassment, financial dependence, or any combination of these reasons.
