Domestic Violence is defined as "a pattern of behavior in a relationship that is used to gain and maintain power and control over an intimate partner." Domestic Violence can be between family members, spouses, or dating partners and is about power and control, not about an inability to control anger. If you or a loved one are experiencing domestic violence, call an advocate today. We will set up an appointment to complete our intake paperwork, at which time we will help you identify the ways that we can assist you.
