If it’s happening to YOU

You probably just want it to stop but remember:

  • It’s not your responsibility to stop domestic abuse
  • It's not your fault if you are experiencing dating abuse.
  • It's important to stay safe.

 

If it’s happening to a FRIEND

There are things you can to do to help:

  •     Let them know that it's OK to talk about it

  •     If you are really worried, ask an adult you trust for help.
