Helping a Friend or Family Member
Are you concerned that a friend, family member, or co-worker may be experiencing abuse? Trust your instincts—you don’t have to see bruises to recognize abuse. Emotional and psychological abuse often happens long before any physical signs appear.
Here are common warning signs that someone may be in an abusive relationship:
- Their partner puts them down or humiliates them in front of others
- They seem nervous or anxious about making their partner angry
- They often make excuses for their partner’s behavior
- Their partner is jealous, possessive, or controlling
- They have unexplained bruises or injuries
- They’ve become isolated from friends, family, or support systems
- You notice they’re withdrawn, depressed, or acting “not like themselves”
