Abuse can happen to anyone. The most important thing to remember is that you are not alone, and you deserve safety and peace. It’s also important to remember that everyone’s experience is unique and is not limited to the information provided here.

 

Abuse is when someone causes harm – physical, emotional, financial, spiritual, sexual and/or psychological and can be identified through a pattern of behaviours used to exert power and control over another person. Some types of abuse are easily identifiable while others are a lot more difficult to name.
