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 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.
