Domestic violence is a serious problem that hurts the person being abused. It also hurts any people who see the abuse happen, especially children.

Domestic violence does not always mean that a person is physically hurt by their abuser. Domestic violence can also be threats and verbal abuse, where the victim is made to feel bad about themselves through insults or embarrassing comments. The abuser may take control of money, belongings, and health care. The abuser may limit contact with family and friends, or limit time at work or school.

If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence, you can get help. There are hotlines that can give you information about emergency shelters or safe houses, transportation, legal information and advocacy, emergency childcare, and help coming up with a safety plan. You can get help any time by calling these hotlines:
