Abuse is never the fault of the victim and leaving can be difficult for many reasons, including safety to end a relationship. If you suspect you are in an abusive relationship, you can reach out to a friend for support or to an advocate at S.A.F.E. Place. Abusers work to isolate the victim from supporters and loved ones making it more difficult to end the relationship.
If you believe a friend or relative is being abused, offer your nonjudgmental support or call S.A.F.E. Place to learn about more ways you can be supportive.
