  • Survivors: people suffering abuse at home, school, church or work
  • Those who are unsure whether the treatment they are receiving in any of these places is really abuse
  • Helpers: pastors or others seeking to support an abused person
  • Leaders: congregational leaders seeking resources for people in their communities of faith who need to know more to support survivors and perpetrators in situations of domestic violence or sexual abuse.
