Stop Abuse Campain logo
The Stop Abuse Campaign is a 501(c)3 business missioned to stop abuse and alleviate the suffering of those involved. Working in Partnership with the National Partnership to End Interpersonal Violence across the Lifespan (npeiv.org) the Campaign will stop abuse in America by 2036 by breaking the cycle of violence.

We will break the cycle of violence by:

Recruiting America to the cause.
Educating all adults on how to create safety plans for themselves and those they love.
Providing easy access to effective mental health treatment to all survivors.
Ensuring that a competent infrastructure exists to allow for the reporting of and effective handling of all cases of abuse.

We are the first generation to have both the science and the technology to stop abuse.
So we have a choice, we can stop abuse or condemn our children to another generation
of suffering. Each one of us has a role to play and it starts with you.
