Understand the full spectrum of partner abuse—what it is, how it happens, and what to do about it.

Intimate partner abuse (IPA) isn’t always physically violent, and it doesn’t only happen in one type of romantic relationship.

Abuse can happen in any gender configuration: man to woman, woman to man, woman to woman, or man to man

Many people think only of domestic violence (DV) when they hear "partner abuse," but abuse in intimate relationships can take many forms. It can be verbal, emotional/psychological, financial, spiritual, legal, sexual, or physical.

A Quick Look at Partner Abuse offers a concise, straight-to-the-point explanation of what partner abuse is, how it develops, and how it impacts people in a range of situations. It includes specific examples, an exploration of where potential abusive behaviors fall on a continuum, and guidance for both people being abused and those who may be acting in harmful ways.

Whether you're learning about this for yourself or using it to support others, this booklet gives you a grounded, easy-to-understand foundation.
