Domestic violence can affect any age group, any background, any ethnicity.  It can also have a profound effect on the physical and mental well-being of both its victims and any other family members who witness the abuse, particularly children.

Children who see or experience violence at home are at increased risk for:
  • Injury
  • Anxiety
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder
  • Juvenile delinquency
  • Substance abuse

There are a number of community resources available to help you and your family overcome domestic violence.  Learn more »
