Our philosophy of abuse comprises eight principles:

  1. Abuse is a learned behavior that has negative consequences for women and children.

  2. Abuse is reinforced by our society.

  3. Abuse can be passed on from generation to generation.

  4. There is no justification for abuse.

  5. Women are not responsible for a partner’s abusive behavior, nor can they control a partner’s abusive behavior.

  6. Chemical abuse and domestic violence are two separate issues that need to be addressed separately.

  7. Initially, issues of abuse need to be addressed in a setting that is separate and safe from the abusive person.

  8. Each woman has her own answers and timing for addressing issues related to abuse.
