There are many negative consequences that affect families experiencing abuse. Support resources include information on spouse and child abuse, victim advocacy, counseling for individuals, couples and children, as well as support groups for men and women. These services are provided, free of charge, for those seeking help. Additionally, classes on stress management, anger management, child and teen parenting, financial management and building self-esteem, are offered to educate individuals in dealing with stressful situations. We encourage anyone experiencing abuse to seek help immediately.
Research shows that the earlier help occurs the sooner families can make positive changes.
Research also proves that without assistance abuse problems persist and become more unbearable over time. Copyright 1999-2000, Marine Corps Community Services, All Rights Reserved.
