Domestic Violence Support
Domestic violence is a pattern of controlling behavior used by an intimate partner or family member to gain power over another. It can affect anyone—regardless of age, race, religion, education, or income.
Abuse can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic, or psychological. Common examples include:
- Extreme jealousy or monitoring your whereabouts
- Isolating you from friends or family
- Physical harm such as hitting, pushing, kicking, or strangling
- Threatening you with weapons or objects
- Forcing sexual acts
- Controlling your ability to leave
- Restricting access to money or basic needs
- Interfering with your job or causing employment problems
If you or someone you care about is experiencing domestic violence, Victim Assistance is here to help.
