Abuse at home

If there is abuse or violence in your home, seek help

If abuse or violence is being directed at one of your family members or at you, seek help right away!  You may want to protect your family and not break the family secret, but it is very important that you tell.

If you or someone else in your family is in immediate DANGER:

	call 9-1-1 (if you can, go to another room or a neighbour's place to call)
	don't get in the middle or try to protect the person who is being hurt
	stay away, and find a safe place in the house or at a neighbour's.
