Domestic violence can include many different behaviors that abusers use to control their partners, and some might be harder to recognize than others.

Being aware of these and other "red flags" helps us all build stronger communities:

🚩 They can help victims and survivors find language and support for what they're experiencing.

🚩 They can help concerned friends and loved ones start a conversation with someone they're worried about.

🚩 They can even help us all see and call out harmful messages in the media, in the headlines, and in pop culture.

Remember: if you're concerned about your relationship, you're not alone, and help is available. Learn more: https://buff.ly/gYRbZ1S

[Image description: Inside a white box, text with six red flag graphics reads: "Red Flags of Abuse. Does your partner ever... Pressure you to move faster in the relationship than you're comfortable with? Insist that you stop spending time with friends and family or that you quit hobbies, school, or your job? Want to know where you are all of the time, or excessively call, email, or text you? Criticize you or put you down, or tell you that nobody else would ever want you? Blame you (or other people) for their behavior, refusing to take responsibility? Control your shared finances or run up credit card debt in your name? It’s not your fault. Help is available."

A huge thank you to Lisa and the Cotten Funeral Home & Crematory for allowing us to hold our Helping Hands Boutique Silent Auction there on Friday night. Everyone in attendance had a wonderful time and we can't thank them enough for being so generous with their time and willingness to bid on all the various items. We have to say "thank you" to all of the volunteers who came out that night. If you hadn't been there, the event wouldn't have happened.
