About This Cause
CHOICES defines domestic violence as physical assault, psychological abuse and/or sexual abuse between adult family members. Domestic violence cuts across all geographic, religious, socio-economic, racial, sex and age barriers. Domestic violence is learned, criminal, generational, cyclical and is correlated with substance abuse. Domestic violence increases in frequency and severity within a relationship yet is not a relationship issue. It is estimated that domestic violence occurs in at least one in four adult relationships in the area CHOICES serves. We believe: •Domestic violence exists and is a problem. •No family member deserves to be abused by another family member. •No family member has the right to abuse another family member. •Everyone has the right to a violence-free household. •CHOICES has a responsibility to adult victims of domestic violence. •Intervention can help. •PRIMARY responsibility for the acts and behaviors of individuals belongs to those individuals. •SECONDARY responsibility belongs to society.
