Schedule a confidential appointment today to speak with someone who will listen and connect you to the support you deserve.
You Deserve Safety and Protection
Abuse is never acceptable, and it is not limited to physical violence. It can appear as constant criticism, threats, manipulation, financial control, or attempts to dictate your pregnancy decisions. An abusive partner might pressure you to choose abortion, restrict your movements, or isolate you from friends and family.
None of these behaviors is justified. Your well-being and dignity matter; no relationship should compromise your safety or independence.
Your Health and Pregnancy
Abuse can create serious health risks for both you and your pregnancy. High stress and physical harm can lead to complications such as preterm labor, low birth weight, or other medical concerns.
Protecting your physical and emotional health is essential. If you ever feel threatened or fear for your safety, call 911 immediately. For additional resources, the National Domestic Violence Hotline (800-799-7233) offers 24/7 assistance, including help creating a personalized safety plan.
Building a Safety Plan and Support Network
A safety plan helps you prepare for emergencies and protect yourself. Consider identifying trusted friends or family who can act as emergency contacts, planning an exit route from your home, and assembling a small “go bag” with essential documents, medication, and personal items.
We can also connect you with local shelters, counseling services, and legal resources to ensure you have comprehensive support.
