The use of physical, sexual, verbal and psychological abuse can occur in close relationships. These types of abuse are used by one person to maintain power and control over another. Support groups are a great way to see that you are not alone. Turningpoint offers a relaxed atmosphere to discuss domestic violence issues. Children can have fun and learn to express feelings positively.
