Are you or someone you know in an abusive relationship? Victim of domestic violence? Have your or someone you know overcome it? Please share your story. I hope that it will be helpful in understanding the various ways domestic violence occurs.

Welcome

This blog was created for a school project but the topic was chosen by me. I feel domestic abuse is an important issue and wanted to see what people know about it and how to raise awareness. Aside from posting information about how to identify the problem and get help. I will also post news stories involving the topic in hopes that it can serve as an informative tool about the different ways in which it occurs.

Thank you for visiting and make sure to check back soon for new posts. I will also be conducting a brief survey on May 14th and would greatly appreciate your responses and feedback.
