DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PREVENTION TIPS ~ KNOW THE SIGNS brought to you by MariasVoice.org ⚠️ Take 1 minute. Most people don’t learn the common signs of domestic abuse until it’s too late. You could save a life! EMOTIONAL AND VERBAL ABUSE 💜 What’s a healthy sign? Partners speak to and about each other with respect. They avoid raising their voices while arguing. Both feel safe expressing their opinions. 🫶🏽 Together we can prevent domestic abuse! Everyone has the right to live in a Safe Home and have Equal, Healthy Relationships!

"I didn’t see the signs—but maybe you can." 💜 Abuse doesn’t always look like violence. It looks like control disguised as love, isolation masked as protection, apologies that never lead to change. I know how easy it is to miss the red flags when you’re holding onto hope. If someone you love is struggling, help them see what they can’t. Love should never feel like fear. Recognizing the signs can save a life. Domestic violence prevention is our mission. It’s yours too. Learn more at mariasvoice.org.

Recent news about the 'Feeding our Future' scam has understandably left many wary about donating to nonprofits. But now, legitimate nonprofits working tirelessly to prevent domestic violence, address food insecurity, and tackle other crucial issues need your support more than ever. So how can you ensure your generosity goes to the right place? ✅ Check their website. Legitimate nonprofits proudly display their IRS Form 990—a yearly financial disclosure outlining their assets, expenses, salaries, and donations. ✅ Use Guidestar.org. If you don't see a Form 990 on a nonprofit’s website, Guidestar.org likely has it. Transparency matters. ❗ Ask Questions. If financial information isn’t readily available, pause and ask "Why?" Maria's Voice is committed to full transparency, integrity, and accountability. You deserve to feel confident knowing exactly where your donation goes. Thank you for supporting nonprofits doing genuine good work. Together, we can create positive change.

Gaslighting is not just manipulation—it’s a form of emotional abuse. It can leave you feeling confused, doubting your own reality, and questioning your memories. Over time, this can make you feel isolated and powerless. If this sounds familiar, know that your feelings are valid. Trust yourself, reach out for support, and remember—you are not alone. Talking to a trusted friend, family member, or therapist can help you regain clarity and strength. Educating ourselves about emotional abuse is key to recognizing the signs, supporting survivors, and building a safer, more compassionate world. Everyone deserves to feel safe, heard, and respected. 💜 #GaslightingAwareness #TrustYourself #YouAreNotAlone #EndEmotionalAbuse #MariasVoice #HealthyBoundaries #GaslightingAwareness #TrustYourself #YouAreNotAlone #EndEmotionalAbuse #Mariasvoice #HealthyBoundaries
