Abuse isn’t always physical 💜

It can look like control, manipulation, isolation, threats, intimidation, or constantly making you question yourself. No matter what it looks like, abuse is never your fault, and you deserve to feel safe, respected, and supported.

If something doesn’t feel right, trust yourself. You’re not alone. 🫶

Today is October 1st: the first day of Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Domestic violence can look different than you might think. 💜

It’s not always physical, and it can show up through patterns of control, intimidation, manipulation, financial abuse, or other forms of harm.

Swipe through to learn more about what domestic violence can look like and why recognizing the signs matters. You don’t have to be experiencing physical violence for your experience to be valid.

If you or someone you know needs support, WRAC is here to help. 🫶
