This is what takecareonline.org is all about. Raphael House of Portland, a non-profit leader in preventing domestic violence, designed this site to educate people about relationship abuse. "Take care" is a popular expression, but it should also be a way of life. The key to staying safe and taking care in your relationship is:

• Recognizing warning signs of dating and domestic violence.
• Knowing how you can help someone who is a victim of physical abuse.
• Understanding emotional abuse and how to cope with it .
• Knowing what sexual harassment is and what to do about it.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, call the National Domestic Violence hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).
