There are many barriers that a person may face in regards to leaving an unhealthy relationship. When we view leaving an unhealthy relationship as simple, we fail to recognize the complexities of abuse and a person’s life. We must continue to work towards a world where instead of asking “why didn’t you just leave?”, people ask “are you safe now?” or “how can I help?”. If you believe you or someone you know is experiencing violence we are here to help. Third Place staff can assist in safety planning for your specific situation.24 Hour Support Line : 902-893-3232Everyone is deserving of a life free of violence💜 ... See MoreSee Less
