Children who are exposed to abuse can be as severely affected as children who are direct victims.

When children experience abuse in their home life, even at a young age, they are put at risk of getting stuck in a cycle of abuse.

Leaving an abusive relationship may put someone at high risk of violence, and even if the relationship ends, the abuse may not.

If someone you know is experiencing abuse, listen, and be supportive. It's not just a matter of simply "leaving."

For information: call/text 211.
