IF YOU ARE IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP You do NOT deserve to be beaten or threatened. You are NOT responsible for your partners abuse. You are NOT alone--there are many other women, like you who are or have been in similar situations. (Note: Men can also be victims in abusive relationships.) Tell someone you trust. Talk to a friend, relative, neighbor, counselor, or health care provider. Get the support you need from someone who cares about you and will keep what you say confidential. Surround yourself with people you trust and who understand what you are going through. Call our 24 hour hotline 1.304.428.2333 to get support and information about what you can do. You can call without giving your name. Hotline people are not there to judge you, but to assist you in exploring your choices and figuring out ways to be safe. Hotlines can give you information about shelters, support groups, legal assistance, and other resources. Call 1.304.428.2333 for the FCIC.If you need medical attention, call your health care provider or go to an emergency room. If you are pregnant, it is important to seek prenatal care. Domestic violence can cause many different health problems and injuries that should not be ignored. Plan for your safety - whether you are still in the relationship, are making plans to leave or have already left. Think about who you can call, where you can go, and what you will need. No One Deserves to be Beaten or Threatened
