September Is World Suicide Prevention Month
Domestic Abuse Doesn’t Always Leave Bruises
Domestic abuse is not always visible.
It doesn’t always leave bruises or physical marks. Sometimes, abuse happens through fear, control, isolation, and manipulation—and the impact can be just as devastating.
It can look like:
- Constant criticism
- Isolation from family and friends
- Fear and intimidation
- Financial control
- Threats
- Emotional manipulation
When someone is living with ongoing fear and control, it can have a serious impact on their mental health, confidence, and sense of safety and wellbeing.
You may not always know what someone is experiencing behind closed doors.
If you are concerned about someone, listen without judgement. Let them know that you believe them, that they are not alone, and that support is available.
And if this is happening to you, please know:
It is not your fault.
You are not alone.
