How to help yourself if you are a domestic violence victim

HOW TO LET YOUR FRIENDS HELP YOU

If you are a domestic violence victim, let people who care help you.

  1. Confide in someone your trust.

    If you have a friend or relative who cares about your safety, tell them about the abuse. Sharing a burden with someone makes it lighter.

  2. Don’t get talked into taking action that doesn’t feel right to you.

    You are the only one who knows if you are ready to leave your relationship, go to the police, or seek emergency shelter.
