WellSpring Center For Hope
Empowering Families to Live Healthier & Happier Lives

You are not alone.
Nearly 1/3 of women report being physically or sexually abused by a husband or boyfriend at some point in their lives.

I am afraid for you.
I know that domestic violence escalates over time, and I believe it will only get worse.

It is not your fault.
You are not the cause of someone else's violent behavior.

You do not deserve to be abused.
You have the right to be safe.

Help is available.
You have the right to make your own choices. Support is available; you do not have to go through this alone.
