DVA Warning Signs

DVA Warning Signs

Understanding the Signs & Seeing the Real Picture

Deadline: Crime with Tamron Hall:

Season 1, Episode 3 — “The Professor’s Wife”

Many victims are hesitant to share that they are experiencing DVA. This is due to a variety of potential reasons, including their pride, shame, lost confidence or sense of self-worth, belief that it may be their fault,
and fear of violence or retribution.

If we all better know the signs and symptoms of DVA, we can help those in need to better understand their situation, their options, pathway and resources available.

Warning Sign Examples

Below is a list of several Warning Signs of someone experiencing DVA:

• Makes excuses for partner's behavior

• Worried about making their partner angry

• Doesn't have access to household money

• Property destroyed by partner

• Bruises & excuses about being clumsy

• Continual contact: excessive texts & calls

• Being controlled by partner

• Decline in confidence

• Reclusiveness / Isolation

• Sudden fear of partner

• Treated like a servant

• Extreme jealousy

• Stories that don't add up

• Last minute cancelling of plans

This represents only a sample of possible DVA Warning Signs.

What Can We Do?

When we (family, friends, neighbors, colleagues & the community)
see the signs of DVA, we need to gain some knowledge,
and engage in a conversation with the victims.
Our foundation focuses on connecting individuals in need with the education
and available resources to help them find their path towards emancipation.
