- Anger Management
We all can get angry when things don’t go our way, when we get into disagreements with others, or when negative things happen to us.

4. Domestic Violence
When your loved one or partner actually starts to harm you, you are in serious danger and need to seek help by contacting the appropriate authorities immediately. You should never put your own wellbeing at risk by staying in a physically harmful relationship. It is better in these situations to remove yourself from the abusive partner and to seek help from supportive family and community resources. Sometimes after we have left physically abusive or violent relationships, we still have past trauma that can affect us in our ability to form new relationships. In cases like this, domestic violence counseling can help us triumph over negative trauma from the past and move forward in our lives with more productive and joyful experiences in life.
