What is IPV?

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a pattern of behavior that one person uses to control another person in an intimate relationship, such as marriage or dating. The abuse can be physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, or financial in nature, and can take many different forms. Warning signs of IPV can include a partner being overly controlling, jealous, or possessive; regularly criticizing or insulting their partner; limiting their partner's access to money or resources; and physically assaulting their partner. It's important to understand that IPV can happen to anyone regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. If you or someone you know is experiencing IPV, it's important to seek help and support from a trusted friend, family member, or professional.
