Recent statistics reveal that the number of women who will experience “relationship violence” is at an all-time high. Allegedly, one in every four women will encounter a brush with domestic violence in her lifetime. If you find yourself facing any type of violence, threats, or abuse behind-closed-doors, reaching out for help is the first step, and perhaps, the most important step.

Above all else, recognize that Only YOU hold the keys to a life free of violence. And luckily, you don’t have to go it alone.
