Domestic Violence Awareness Month

DATING VIOLENCE
Five signs your friend may be in trouble

ISOLATION 
You observe persistent demands about how and with whom your friend spends their time, often coupled with jealousy or guilting.

CONTROL
You sense your friend feeling pressured to act, speak, or look a certain way. They may communicate fear that being out of touch with their partner will upset them.

PHYSICALITY 
You see your friend's partner use their body to assert themselves or deal with confrontation. They may also ignore or violate physical boundaries.

COERCION
Your friend acts nervous, withdrawn, or out of character, and shows fear or defensiveness when confronted about the changes.

CRITICISM
The belittlement of beliefs and feelings, and other forms of emotional and psychological abuse can be early indicators that the harm will become physical.

The Survivor Advocacy Program exists to provide confidential support to survivors and those who care about them. Schedule an appointment online.
