Domestic Violence Awareness Month: Recognizing Strangulation

Strangulation is a serious and potentially life-threatening form of domestic violence. It occurs when someone intentionally applies pressure to another person's neck, restricting their ability to breathe or blood flow to the brain.

⚠️ Strangulation can be dangerous even when there are no visible marks or injuries. It can cause serious internal damage and life-threatening complications, sometimes appearing hours or days later. Medical attention is important after strangulation.

Strangulation is not just an act of physical violence; it is also a major warning sign of escalating abuse. Everyone deserves to feel safe in their relationships.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, Family Support Services of West Central Indiana is here to help. Our advocates can provide support, resources, and safety planning.

You are not alone. Help is available.

Boundaries Are Important in Child Development!

Setting boundaries helps children feel safe, secure, and supported as they grow. 🌱 Boundaries teach children respect, responsibility, self-control, and how to understand their own feelings and the feelings of others.

✨ Healthy boundaries help children learn to:
đź’ś Understand expectations and limits.
đź’™ Respect themselves and others.
đź’š Build healthy relationships.
đź’› Develop independence and confidence.
🩵 Feel safe and secure.

Remember, setting boundaries isn't about controlling children—it's about guiding them as they learn and grow. Consistent, loving boundaries help build a strong foundation for a healthy future! 🧸

Leaving isn’t easy, but you deserve to feel safe.

For survivors of domestic violence, choosing to leave can be one of the hardest decisions they will ever make. It takes courage, strength, and support to take that first step toward a safer future. Remember, you are not alone, and help is available. đź’ś

Leaving an abusive relationship can be the most dangerous time. If you are considering leaving, contact a domestic violence advocate who can help you create a personalized safety plan to protect yourself and your children. You deserve to leave safely, with support every step of the way.
