Isolation is a powerful tool used by abusers to control and manipulate their victims, making it difficult for them to seek help or escape. One way abusers do this is by limiting access to those close to the victim in order to weaken them psychologically. The victim ends up cut off from the relationships that fuel their inner strength, provide validation and support, and could help them to see their situation more clearly. Recognizing the signs of isolation, such as psychological manipulation, cutting off social ties, restricting communication, and financial control, is crucial in identifying abusive behavior. Early intervention to help improve awareness and break the cycle of violence before things escalate is very important. Learn more: https://bit.ly/39KBXPl

Intimate partner murder-suicide is happening way too often in Indiana and across the US. On average, more than once per day in the United States, a tragedy occurs where a perpetrator kills an intimate partner, and then dies by suicide themself. Of these incidents, 93 percent involve a gun, and 95 percent involve women killed by their male partners. Too often children are both the victims of, and witnesses to, murder-suicide. If you know someone isolated or in a situation of coercive control let them know safely and discreetly about our advocacy services. Trying to flee is the most unsafe potentially deadly time. You can call our advocates to get helpful advice if you suspect someone is in this situation. We can help them with a safety plan. #LeanOnUs Read this article about a murder-suicide in February that happened in Lake County, Indiana. https://bit.ly/3DLJzUQ

Healing isn't about checking boxes; healing is about discovering what helps you move forward, even in the smallest ways. One of the hardest yet most important parts of healing is being gentle with yourself. https://bit.ly/3FcxqbU #HealingJourney

Victims of intimate partner violence lose 8 million days of work each year, the equivalent of 32,000 full-time jobs and over 5 and a half million days of household productivity. A big part of helping survivors remain free from the grip of domestic violence is helping to obtain gainful employment and learn how to manage finances. This removes the need to return to an abuser because of financial desperation. We can help achieve independence and self-sufficiency for successful long-term economic sustainability.

Brain injuries can happen in unexpected ways, including during instances of domestic violence. Let's use this month to advocate for better education, resources, and services to protect survivors and prevent further harm. #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth Follow along this month and pay attention to what many with brain injury are sharing about their unique journey. There is a significant gap between what people think living with brain injury is like and the reality that people with brain injury experience. #MyBrainInjuryJourney https://bit.ly/3kakpzO
