WHAT A HEALTHY

RELATIONSHIP LOOKS LIKE

RED FLAGS OF UNHEALTHY

RELATIONSHIPS

Emotional/Psychological abuse. Jeal-ousy, possessiveness, controlling behavior, verbal put downs, name calling, criticism, in-timidation, threats.

Physical abuse. Pushing, shoving, slap-ping, pulling hair, excessive tickling, hitting, punching, threatening with a weapon, physi-cally confining.

Sexual abuse. Any sexual relations w ith-out the consent of the other person. Touching, humiliating sexual activity, coercion, rape.

On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men. 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have been victims of [some form of] physical violence by an intimate partner within their lifetime. Women between the ages of 18-24 are most commonly abused by an intimate partner. Citation: NCADV. (2015). Domestic violence national statistics. Retrieved from www.ncadv.org

BOXER BREATHERS

The Student Counseling Center wants to

weekly drop-in group to help students learn

new skills, strategies, and ideas to increase

your ability to cope with stress and to im-

new skills, and you can attend as often or as

little as you want. Look forward to seeing

you there!

Boxer Breathers will resume the first week

About 91% of women feel unhappy with their bodies and re-

sort to dieting to reach their ideal body and 58% of college-

aged girls feel pressure to be a certain weight. For that rea-

son, female students are invited to join the Body Project; a

group aimed at helping young women feel better about their

bodies. Attend four one-hour classes designed to improve
