Domestic Violence
Domestic violence happens to people in all walks of life. Although usually contrite afterwards, the abuser often makes excuses for the behavior or blames the victim. Promises of change most often do not occur. Often the incidents escalate. If you are afraid of anyone or if anyone has threatened you physically or emotionally, it is vital for you to seek help and a safe haven. Your health care provider or the hospital staff will be sensitive and confidential in directing you to the appropriate service for assistance.
