Abuse Health
Abuse comes in many forms. It may be emotional, physical, sexual, or a combination of these. Whatever shape or form abuse takes, it is always wrong. And it is not the victim's fault. This category lists information on what abuse is, how it affects families and individuals, where to get help if you are the victim, and what to do if a friend is the victim.
