Domestic violence survivors are individuals who have experienced physical, emotional, or psychological abuse at the hands of a current or former intimate partner. This can include physical assault, threats, intimidation, controlling behavior, isolation, and financial abuse.
Domestic violence can affect anyone regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, age, or socio-economic status. Survivors may experience long-term physical and mental health problems, as well as difficulty in maintaining employment, financial stability, and relationships.
It is important for survivors to seek help and support from trained professionals, such as domestic violence advocates, therapists, and support groups, in order to heal and recover from the trauma they have experienced.​
Domestic violence is an extremely traumatic experience that can leave deep scars, both physical and emotional. As someone who cares about the well-being of all people, I want to offer you my support and encouragement.
We know that it takes a lot of courage to come forward and speak out about any abuse you have experienced. It is not an easy thing to talk about, and it can be scary to leave an abusive a. But we want you to know that you are not alone, and that there is help available.
CHICK Therapy is dedicated to helping women like you who have been the victim of domestic violence, . They can provide you with resources and support as you navigate the difficult process of healing and rebuilding your life.

It's important that you know that you deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, no matter what has happened in the past. You are not to blame for the abuse you have suffered, and there is no justification for anyone to mistreat you in that way. You deserve to feel safe, secure, and loved.
In Memory of Those Who Lost Their Loves To Domestic Violence
We'd like to remember, and honor loved ones we have lost to domestic violence. While their lives were tragically cut short, their memories will forever live on in our hearts.
​
It is painful to think about the instances of violence that they have endured, and the fear and pain they must have felt. It is a hard reminder that society needs to do more to prevent such horrific acts from happening.
​
We want to take a moment to acknowledge their strength and courage, for those who stayed in abusive relationships for their children or for financial reasons, or for those who left and tried to rebuild their lives.
​
As we remember them, let us commit ourselves to spreading awareness about domestic violence and to supporting those who are in need of help. Let us strive to create a world where no one has to fear for their safety in their own homes.
​
To our loved ones who have passed on, we will always carry your memory with us.
