How can you help & make a difference in your community?
Do you know someone in an abusive relationship? Making the decision to get involved can be difficult, especially if you don’t know how to help. But for many victims, the knowledge that someone cares and is willing to provide emotional support is critical to starting a new life free from abuse and fear.
