SDSU nursing students target domestic violenceOctober is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Our mission as SDSU nursing students is to bring awareness to the public about abusive relationships. Along with the Southwest Crisis Center and Nobles/Rock Public Health Services, we are trying to reach those who are affected. Getting the word out will let victims know they are not alone, and that there is help available. Below we have listed some warning signs that may occur in an abusive relationship. This is a format that we have created for detecting problems in a relationship. If your partner … oever hits, slaps, pushes, or chokes you othreatens to hurt you odestroys your things oforces you to engage in sexual practices ogets jealous easily oforbids you to see your family and friends oblames you for his actions … you may be a victim.Always remember: oYou are not alone. oIt is not your fault. oThere is help.For help, contact the Southwest Crisis Center at 1-800-376-4311, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If we have helped one person, we have accomplished our mission. SDSU Nursing StudentsBrookings, S.D.
