While physical violence is one of the most severe forms of abuse, it often isn’t where an unhealthy or abusive relationship begins.

More commonly, a person who causes harm uses other controlling behaviors, such as manipulation, intimidation, isolation, or emotional abuse to gain and maintain power. These behaviors can escalate over time and may ultimately lead to physical violence.

Recognizing these early warning signs and supporting survivors is critical to preventing further harm.

💜 Verbal abuse is still domestic violence.
Name-calling, belittling, threats, or constant criticism can leave lasting scars. 🗣️

You can help survivors break the cycle. Take a stand with our Campaign and support life-saving programs.

During the shutdown of the federal government, the Anne Arundel County Food Bank and our network of partners will continue operations as usual. We recognize that in the event of a prolonged shutdown, more of our neighbors may require access to free, healthy food, and we are committed to assisting them. If you would like to help by donating or hosting a food drive, please visit aafoodbank.org/be-involved/

We are also collecting other resources for our neighbors affected by the shutdown, and we will make them available here: aafoodbank.org/resources/
