Your phone, your passwords, and your social media accounts belong to you. Digital abuse, such as demanding passwords, tracking your location, or controlling who you talk to online, is an invasion of privacy and a form of control. Setting digital boundaries is just as important as physical ones.

Is Your Workplace a Safe Space?

For many survivors of domestic violence, work is the one place they are temporarily free from constant surveillance and control. Yet, abuse can spill into the workplace.

As employers and colleagues, we can make a positive difference:
Learn the warning signs (increased absenteeism, unexplained anxiety, frequent intrusive phone calls).
Create a supportive environment where survivors feel comfortable asking for help.
Offer schedule flexibility when possible.
Sharing discreet resources or connecting them to professional support.

Your support at work can save a life.

"Why don't they just leave?"

Leaving an abusive relationship is often dangerous. It isn't as simple as packing a bag and walking away. Survivors face immense financial barriers, fear of retaliation, concerns for their children or pets, social isolation, housing instability, and intense psychological manipulation.

Instead of asking why they stay, let’s ask how we can support their personalized safety plan. Compassion and help, not judgment, are what survivors need most on their journey.

If you or a loved one is experiencing domestic violence, you are not alone. Visit NotAloneAK.com for local resources, thehotline.org for 24/7 support, or strongheartshelpline.org for culturally informed support for Alaska Native people.
