If you or anyone you know is in a dangerous situation, reach out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 – trained advocates will provide you the confidential assistance you need and deserve.
If you notice signs of violence in someone you love, reach out to them – let them know they are not alone, and offer your help. If you are the one suffering from any abuse, be careful and plan your escape thoroughly, but leave, as soon as you have a chance.
