Five Minutes or Less for Health Weekly Tip: Assess Your Relationships
Like
all violence, intimate partner violence (IPV) is a learned behavior that
can be changed or prevented. Abuse includes physical abuse, sexual abuse,
threats, and emotional abuse. Often, IPV starts with emotional abuse.
This behavior can progress to physical or sexual abuse. Take a few minutes
to determine if you or others you care about are in an unhealthy relationship,
and get help if needed.
- Assess your relationships to make sure they are healthy.
- Call 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) to learn about available services for victims and perpetrators of IPV and their children.
