Do You Know What Abuse Is?

Does your partner call you names and put you down?
Does your partner demand control over your money?
Does your partner make you feel like you are crazy?
Does your partner keep you isolated from family and friends?
Does your partner pressure you into sex?
Does your partner physically harm you or threaten you?

There are many different forms of abuse.  If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may be a victim of domestic violence.  People affected by abuse can be of any age, religion, race, or socioeconomic status.  Domestic violence is the number one cause of injury to women in our country, more than auto accidents, muggings and rapes combined. 

There is help for you.  The PASSAGE Program offers confidential counseling and safe shelter for abused women and their children.  Call 285-6984 for help today.
