The mission of the Family Crisis Center is to enhance community harmony and strengthen families.

Does your partner, child or other family members:

• Hit you?
• Call you names?
• Put you down?
• Stop you from seeing friends or family?
• Yell or scream at you?
  
• Threaten to hurt you or your loved ones?
• Make you feel afraid?
• Control the finances?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, this is abuse.
