Abuse isn’t always easy to recognize. 💜

Controlling behavior, isolation, digital monitoring, financial control, and intimidation can all be warning signs of an unhealthy or abusive relationship.

This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, let’s continue learning the signs, supporting survivors without judgment, and reminding one another that everyone deserves to feel safe and respected.

Save this post or share it to help spread awareness. If you or someone you know could benefit from support, visit womenrisechicago.org to sign up for &Rise’s free services.

Abuse doesn’t always leave a visible mark.

Domestic violence can include emotional, verbal, psychological, financial, and digital abuse. Recognizing these forms of abuse is an important step toward supporting ourselves and the people around us.

This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, let’s learn the signs, listen without judgment, and remind survivors that they are not alone. 💜

Taxman, Pollock & Bekkerman was proud to sponsor &Rise’s Comedy for a Cause, an evening bringing the community together for laughter, connection, and an important cause.

The event featured an evening of comedy while creating an opportunity for guests to be inspired and support &Rise’s mission of helping women in healing from trauma and abuse. Proceeds from the event help provide free services to women, including counseling, support groups, financial education, and professional development resources. We’re grateful to have been part of such a meaningful event and to support the work &Rise is doing in our community.

Thank you to &Rise for bringing everyone together for a great night! by @and_rise__
