GET HELP
Where To Go
If you are in immediate danger, you may want to go to someplace public like a 24-hour restaurant where other people will be around.
Go to a friend's house or call a battered women's shelter. Shelters are usually free and will often have information about other services available in your community.
If you stay with a friend or family member, keep your location secret if possible.
