Recognize the signs of abuse

Abuse isn't always physical. It can include behaviors used to gain or keep power and control.

  • Extreme jealousy, monitoring, or control
  • Isolation from family, friends, or coworkers
  • Insults, humiliation, or threats
  • Controlling money or interfering with work
  • Sexual pressure or coercion
  • Destroying property or threatening with weapons

Help someone you know

You don't need all the answers. Listening without judgment can make a difference.

  • Listen and take them seriously.
  • Don't blame or judge.
  • Respect their choices.
  • Don't pressure them to leave before they're ready.
  • Offer to connect them with a trained advocate.
