Why People Call
People call our crisis counselors for many reasons. Some are looking for information on domestic violence to help a friend. Some need community resource information like counseling services. Some are referred by the police after their partner is arrested and need help or emergency shelter. Many are in crisis and have just been battered. The reasons are as numerous as individual as the people themselves.
Whatever your reason, please call.
You are not alone. No one deserves to be abused.
