 Domestic violence can happen to anyone regardless of race, ethnicity, education level, religion, gender, or age. Young adults ages 16 to 24 are more vulnerable to intimate partner violence than any other age group at a rate almost triple the national average. If you think you may be being abused, ask yourself if you would treat your friends the same way your partner treats you. If you or someone you know is being abused, contact COPE at 575-434-3622 or use the chat line at copedv.com.
