Domestic abuse is never justified. Violence in any form – physical, sexual, psychological, verbal, or spiritual – is sinful and often it is a crime as well.
Here are a few resources to help if you find yourself in this type of situation:
EndItNow.org – is a global initiative to raise awareness and advocate for the end of violence around the world.It aims to mobilize Seventh-day Adventists around the world and invites other community groups to join in to resolve this worldwide issue.
The Dynamics of Domestic Violence – a helpful booklet with good information and resources.
San Joaquin County Resources – click here for information about a shelter or other community services available in San Joaquin County or proper procedures for a victim.
Batterer Intervention Project – resources for men (or others) who use violence.
