What to Do

Is there hope???

Lemhi County Crisis Intervention offers hope to victims of domestic violence, rape, sexual assault and dating violence.  The first step in healing or changing an abusive environment and the abusive behaviors within it involves becoming honest with yourself and others.  Often we feel too scared or embarrassed to ask for help.  
NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO SUFFER THE TERRIBLE PAIN OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE BY REMAINING SILENT.
