Counselling News
Information from Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County
Did you know 1/3 of young adults report experiencing verbal, emotional, or physical abuse from a romantic partner. If your relationship looks less like love and more like abuse, you are not alone. Reach out to a trusted adult or school counselor or call a support line. Your safety matters. (Information provided by Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County.)
