💜 Domestic Violence Awareness Month | Know the Signs

Abuse isn't always physical. Feeling controlled, isolated, criticized, or unsafe in a relationship can be warning signs of abuse.

Recognizing these signs can help us better understand and support those experiencing domestic violence.

💜 Everyone deserves a relationship built on safety, respect, and trust.
