Stalking can have serious & long-lasting effects on a person's well-being, including isolation, anxiety, & depression. It is important to take steps to protect yourself and seek help. #CCR #StalkingAwarenessMonth #TakeStalkingSeriously #PowerandControl

Remember, stalking is never the victim's fault. If you are being stalked, it is important to get help and support from trusted friends, family, and professionals. #EndStalking #StandUpToStalking #StalkingAwarenessMonth #TakeStalkingSeriously #stoptheabuse #PowerandControl

With all the benefits of technology, there are also downsides, including using tracking systems on the victim's vehicle/phone, installing spyware on their 💻 computer, or cameras 🎥 in the victim's home. #CCR #domesticviolence #StalkingAwarenessMonth #TakeStalkingSeriously

This involves using the internet or other electronic means to harass or intimidate the victim. This includes cyberbullying and sending threatening messages/emails. #CCR #domesticviolence #EndStalking #StandUpToStalking #StalkingAwarenessMonth #PowerandControl

When people think of stalking, they often picture someone following another person without their knowledge. Stalking can also involve harassing/threatening the victim in person & unwanted phone calls. #CCR #EndStalking #StandUpToStalking #StalkingAwarenessMonth #PowerandControl

Stalking is a pattern of repeated and unwanted attention/contact directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear. #StalkingAwarenessMonth #StandUpToStalking #domesticviolence #HCDVCC #CCR #HarrisCounty

Lack of trust based on the history of racism and classism in the United States. Stereotypes about the prevalence of domestic violence and sexual assault in communities of color. #DVAM #violencesgainstwomenofcolor #womenofcolor #Hcdvcc #youarenotalone

Some of these factors are: Cultural norms can restrain the survivor from leaving the abusive relationship or involving outsiders. Distrust of law enforcement. Lack of service providers that look like the survivor or share common experiences.

It includes physical violence, sexual violence, threats, economic, and emotional/psychological abuse. The frequency and severity of domestic violence varies dramatically. #DVAM #domesticbiolenceawarenessmonth #HCDVCC #weareresilient #Youarenotalone

Domestic violence is the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another.

Today is the day to reflect on the strides we have made and the ones we will make in the future! #HCDVCC #domesticviolenceawarenessmonth #dvam #eveyoneknowssomeone #dayofunity

Happy #LaborDay to all of you! Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and direct contributions to our growth and goals.

We all play a part in creating a safe community. If you can't do it yourself, find someone who can help! #HCDVCC #BystanderInterventionMonth #ActiveBystander #5DsForActiveBystander #IntimatePartnerViolence

There are different ways that someone can be in a harmful situation. It's not always about physical abuse. Here are some of the situations you can be a bystander to. #HCDVCC #BystanderInterventionMonth #ActiveBystander #5DsForActiveBystander #IntimatePartnerViolence

Some times a person can't stop to help someone, when this is the case, you can DELAY being a bystander. Check-in with them later to see if they need something. Offer to get help, sit with them til they are ok being alone, or offer them resources. BystanderInterventionMonth
