Relationship and Sexual Safety

-Please call 911 if you are in danger!

 

Domestic or relationship abuse refers to any abusive behavior in any personal relationship that allows one partner to intimidate, or to gain power and control over the other. This is often thought of to occur between married spouses or in other intimate relationships, but actually refers to any family relationship, or persons living in the same home.

Domestic violence includes physical, sexual, psychological, and emotional abuse, as well as threats of violence or economic control. These are behaviors intended to intimidate, frighten, terrorize, humiliate, manipulate, coerce, blame, or injure someone.

CHECK YOUR RELATIONSHIP: a questionnaire.

 

SAFETY PLANNING: having a pre planned safety strategy is very important!
