Abuse

Abuse Feature Writer: Karen Stephenson

Abuse is present and problematic in society at large. There are many types of abuse - including sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, and substance abuse - all of which should be taken very seriously.

My goal is to provide you with the information you need, whether it is academic information about abuse or advice and resources for victims of abuse and abuse recovery.

Read about signs of child abuse, how much the War on Drugs costs, and abuse in LGBT relationships. Learn how to get out of abusive relationships, how to stop drinking alcohol, and how to quit smoking.

I encourage you to share your views and concerns in our discussion groups, and to browse the many articles available to you.
