Trauma & Abuse
Domestic violence is abuse that happens in a personal relationship. It can happen between past or current partners, spouses, or boyfriends and girlfriends.
Domestic violence affects men and women of any ethnic group, race, or religion; gay or straight; rich or poor; teen, adult, or elderly. But most of its victims are women. In fact, 1 out of 4 women will be a victim at some point. Below is a chart showing the cycle of abuse.
Money
troubles and problems with drugs or alcohol can make it more likely
that abuse will happen. Domestic violence hurts victims as well as
their families. Don't ignore
it. People who suffer from abuse can be badly hurt. They are also
likely to have long-lasting health problems, such as
depression, headaches, and post-traumatic stress disorder. This is
because of the repeated injuries and stress from living with abuse.It's important to get help. Your first step is to contact a local advocacy group for support, information, and advice on how to stay safe. Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (1-800-799-7233) for the nearest program. The hotline is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, in English, Spanish, and other languages.
