Rivers of Hope has served communities in Sherburne and Wright as well as portions of adjoining counties since 1989.  Our focus is domestic violence, and our services are provided at no cost to individuals, schools and communities. 

Emotional Violence is using words to humiliate or intimidate a person..

Physical Violence is hurting a person's body or the things a person cares about.

Sexual violence is forced or coerced sexual touching.

Any sexual contact between an adult and a child is sexual violence.

ARE YOU A VICTIM OF DATING VIOLENCE?
 

• Are you frightened by your partner's temper?
  

• Are you afraid to disagree with him or her?
  

• Do you find yourself apologizing to yourself or others for your partner's behavior when you are treated badly?
  

• Have you been frightened by his or her violence towards others?
  

• Have you been hit, kicked, shoved, or had things thrown at you?
  

• Do you not see friends or family because of his or her jealousy?
  

• Have you been forced to have sex, or afraid to say no to sex?
  

• Are you forced to justify everything you do, every place you go, and every person you see to avoid his or her temper?
  

• Have you been wrongly or repeatedly accused of flirting or having sex with others?
  

• Are you unable to go out, get a job, or go to school without his or her permission?

Then you may be a victim of dating violence.
