Abuse Help Links
These links either help with or point to help for different types of abuse, such as sexual, physical violence, neglect, verbal, or spiritual. Simple key word searches in Google or other search engines will provide many other sites. I’ve tried to collect a few key sites here, which will also lead you to others. This comes with the usual provision that this is not an endorsement of the sites or their content. Especially with abused individuals, leaving matters of trust under their own control is essential and I do so here.
