“I need help!”

If you are being abused
or are fearful that you might be abused,
you are not alone and it is not your fault.

You cannot control your partner’s behaviour, but there are ways that you can make yourself safer.  Asking for help takes courage. You’ve already made the first step by accessing our website.
