IN THIS LESSON

Let’s discuss how many red and/or pink flags is too many.

Everyone has different experiences with conflict or abuse in relationships - we may be normalized to it, or we may feel more sensitive to it than others. Given that signs of abuse are not exclusive to abuse, let’s discuss how many flags you would see before considering whether someone was in an abusive relationship.

Important to note, there are no wrong answers. We have our own perceptions and biases toward these signs, and the numbers may change based on who it is.

Are you ready to help?

Now that you know the signs and when you would be concerned, are you ready to help?
