Domestic Violence Awareness

VIDEO – What I believed to be love was the most unsafe place of all

Domestic abuse can start off seeming innocent, until it’s not. It doesn’t always include physical violence, but includes verbal, emotional and financial abuse.

Please watch and share our domestic violence awareness video.

Why is Domestic Violence Awareness important?

Download and share these informational flyers about identifying the different types of domestic violence.

The impact of domestic violence is widespread and increasing, both nationally and locally here in Central Ohio.  Domestic violence is not only defined as physical abuse.  It can also be verbal, emotional, sexual and financial abuse.

Please join our efforts to help people recognize the signs of abuse by reading and sharing these three informational flyers.

Healthy Relationships

It is never too soon to talk to kids about the importance of healthy relationships. Please share this information sheet designed for elementary-age children. Educating children that it is not ok to hurt another person and reinforcing this concept is critical in combating the cycle of family violence.
