Name-calling, humiliation, threats, intimidation, isolation from friends and family, and controlling behavior.
Controlling money, preventing employment, ruining credit, or withholding funds for basic needs.
Monitoring phone/computer use, tracking location, harassment through social media, and sharing intimate images without consent.

A safety plan helps you prepare for different situations — whether you're still in the relationship, planning to leave, or have already left. Having a plan can save precious seconds in an emergency.
Identify doors, windows, and routes to leave your home quickly. Practice getting out.
Keep important documents, medications, cash, and keys in a hidden, accessible place.
Create a signal with trusted friends/family that means "call for help" or "come get me."
Keep emergency numbers and our contact info saved where only you can access them.
Keep these items in a bag hidden somewhere your abuser won't find it:
Digital Safety: Don't save this list on your phone or computer. Use a physical note hidden somewhere safe.
If someone you care about is experiencing domestic violence, your support can make a critical difference in their safety and recovery.
When someone shares their experience, believe them. Don't question or judge. Your trust matters.
Let them talk at their own pace. Don't push for details or tell them what to do.
They know their situation best. Focus on supporting their choices, even if you disagree.
Leaving takes time. They may go back multiple times. Stay supportive through the process.
Offer specific help: "I can watch the kids" or "I saved this number for you."
Supporting someone through abuse is hard. Consider counseling or a support group for yourself.
Instead of:
"Why don't you just leave?"
Try:
"I support whatever you decide."
Instead of:
"They don't seem that bad."
Try:
"I believe what you're telling me."
Instead of:
"I told you so..."
Try:
"I'm here for you no matter what."
Whether you're ready to leave, still figuring things out, or supporting someone else — we're here. All services are confidential, free, and judgment-free.
