Abuses within our society, such as phishing and scams to get someone's information or money, seem to be increasing. The key to protecting yourself and your loved ones is to recognize the warning signs as early as possible, then taking steps to prevent or correct any abuse. Answer these Yes/No questions to help you learn the symptoms and warning signs of a number of social health and relationship issues and help you figure out if you or someone you love should do more to protect yourself.

The following assessments are included with this application:

1) Domestic Abuse Victim: Is my family member, friend, or co-worker a victim of domestic abuse?

Domestic abuse has several forms, including, physical abuse, verbal abuse, emotional abuse, mental abuse, sexual abuse, stalking, and financial abuse. This assessment is designed for use when you suspect a family member, friend, or co-worker may be the victim of domestic abuse. Answer these few questions to learn more about the signs of domestic abuse and help you determine if your family member, friend, or co-worker may be a victim of domestic abuse.

2) Abusive Relationship: Am I in an abusive relationship?

A common pattern of abusive relationships is that many violent, abusive outbursts are followed by apologies and seemingly heartfelt promises to change. The abuser may be very pleasant most of the time, making it a difficult decision to 'break the cycle' and end the relationship. You must first recognize that the situation is abusive if you are going to get help and end the abuse. Answer these few questions to learn more about the signs of an abusive relationship and help you determine if your relationship may be abusive.

3) Emotionally or Verbally Abused: Am I being emotionally or verbally abused?

Most people recognize the signs of physical or sexual abuse, but many of the signs of emotional or verbal abuse are much less obvious. Victims are often so 'worn down' they do not recognize the abuse. Answer these few questions to learn more about the signs of emotional or verbal abuse and help you determine if you may be a victim.

4) Daughter's Abusive Relationship: Is my daughter in an abusive relationship?

Teenage abusive relationships are on the rise. Many teenager girls are finding themselves in relationships that are controlling, manipulative, or even physicially abusive. And some research shows that as many as 98% of these teenage girls continue to date their abuser. If you are concerned about your daughter's relationship, take this short assessment to learn more about the signs of an abusive relationship and help you determine if your daughter's relationship may be abusive.

5) Stalking: I'm nervous about the way this person acts, am I being stalked?

Stalking is a form of harassment where a victim fears for their safety because someone haunts them physically or emotionally. Stalking is repetitive and devious in nature and the victim usually feels threatened. Stalking can take place in person, by phone, or online (see our Cyberstalking Assessment for more specific signs). Stalking is unpredictable and should always be considered dangerous. If you are concerned that someone may be stalking you, take this quick assessment to learn more about the signs of stalking and help you determine if you may be a victim of stalking.

6) CyberStalking: I'm uncomfortable about the internet communications from someone, am I being cyberstalked?

Cyberstalkers use internet, email, instant messaging, or text messaging to stalk another person. Cyberstalking is serious even if there is no physical stalking. Cyberstalking sometimes advances to physical stalking and violence, so be extra cautious to protect your identity while online. If you are concerned about a potential cyberstalker, take this quick assessment to learn more about the signs of cyberstalking and help you determine if you may be a victim.
