Have a friend in trouble
"My friend is always talking about how difficult her relationship is.
I know she is in trouble."

Need to talk about your situation
"I know we fight a lot, but is this really an abusive relationship?
I am not quite ready for shelter, I just need to know my options."

Need shelter and ready to make a change in your life
"I’m concerned about what a shelter has to offer me, what is it like?"

What is abuse and how does it continue?
Abusers find many ways to maintain power and control in relationships.

* Hurt others physically or sexually
* Yell, threaten, tantrum
* Abuse children and pets
* Threaten suicide
* Place restrictions on money
* Break things
* Make unreasonable demands
* Isolate their family from relatives and friends
* Accuse loved ones of cheating on them
* Apologize and make promises they don’t keep
