Relationship Safety Check-In
This check-in is about safety, control, and freedom in a close relationship. It does not require you to label what is happening as abuse. You can use it simply to notice patterns and find support.
About this assessment
This tool is designed for self-reflection and support navigation. It is not a diagnosis. Results should be interpreted in context, especially when symptoms are severe, persistent, or affecting daily life.

Abuse & domestic violence FAQs
Do I have to be physically hurt for a relationship to be abusive?
No. Coercive control, threats, stalking, sexual coercion, financial abuse, and intimidation can all be serious forms of abuse.
Can I contact a hotline if I am not ready to leave?
Yes. Support services can help you think through options without requiring you to end the relationship.
What if someone monitors my phone or browser?
Use a safer device when possible and consider how call logs, browser history, shared accounts, or location sharing could be monitored.
Is couples counseling recommended when there is abuse?
When one partner is afraid or controlled, couples counseling can create additional risk. Specialized abuse support is usually a safer first step.
