  • A noticeable decline in physical health or self-care

  • Loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable

  • Difficulty in carrying out daily tasks or responsibilities

  • Avoidance of social interactions or withdrawal from social situations

Remember:

It's important to note that family violence can occur in various relationships, including those involving spouses or partners, parents and children, siblings, and other family members. Recognizing the signs of family violence and seeking help is crucial to ensuring the safety and well-being of those affected by it. If you or someone you know is experiencing family violence, consider contacting support organizations for assistance and resources.
