Domestic Violence...
Help is Available!

Domestic Violence is a Crime of Silence... Break the Chain of Silence!

Picture
Abusers thrive on silence. Speaking out is the first step to healing. It is very important to know that if an abuser is reported to the proper authorities, most abusers will either abuse less or stop entirely. As members of IHM we are called to speak the truth and break the silence. Help is available and IHM can provide families suffering from domestic violence with ways to get the help that they need while respecting their privacy. Through targeted referrals and helpful resources, we will help victims begin a new life without abuse, and we will help abusers leave behind their destructive habits.

Call us during regular business hours at 330-793-9988 to talk about your options.
