Domestic and Intimate Partner Violence

Many times, when people hear “domestic violence,” the thought of physical violence enters their mind.  While this is certainly a type of domestic violence, it is not the only kind.  Domestic violence can include physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse and intimidation (including gaslighting), isolation, verbal abuse (coercion, threats, and blame), economic/financial abuse, reproductive coercion, digital abuse, and stalking.
