Healthy relationship skills are vital to good health in men. Research shows that single men commit suicide more often and may be a contributing factor, but are men being socialized in ways that sustain healthy relationships? #HealthyRelationships https://t.co/drrNx7JP2q

Couples therapy is for healthy relationships, not relationships that include abusers or narcissists. Here are some things to keep in mind when dealing with narcissistic abuse. #RelationshipAbuse https://t.co/WHWmAhkwuZ

Abuse is not a relationship problem. We have to talk about #RelationshipAbuse correctly before we can think clearly about what's going on and what to do about it. https://t.co/hTYFnLV5dw

The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy program may be helping abusers in Iowa get a handle on their behaviors and tendencies. Could this program benefit abusers around the country? #DomesticViolence https://t.co/yC3PXtcWZc

North Carolina may be using a different way to access suicide help hotlines. This model works for emergency 9-1-1 calls, community resource 2-1-1 calls, and information 4-1-1 calls. #MentalHealth https://t.co/SejFuRv6Sd

Too many youth experience emotional abuse as kids and it normalizes it for them. That makes it harder to take it seriously in romantic and work relationships. Here are some things to think about. https://t.co/gq3mllwvqF

Holding an abusive man accountable for abuse is challenging. However, women who protect themselves from their abusers are often punished with prison time. #DomesticViolence https://t.co/YCFJodRYyA

There are 2 different kinds of protective orders. Whether or not a petitioner gets one is really at the discretion of judges. Are Buncombe County judges trained about #DomesticViolence and sexual assault and able to make informed decisions in those cases? https://t.co/OUE4b5UJE6

When men kill their former or current partners, there is often a trail of systems failures preceding the murders. That's what happened in Tennessee and here is the man trying to get laws changed so the system doesn't fail anymore victims. #DomesticViolence https://t.co/4G1bc493Mt

People are saying that social media interaction for young people is like getting a hit of cocaine. Is that really what's driving suicides among youth? It's the second leading cause of death for kids 10-14. #youth https://t.co/umlqJLIXYk

Unfortunately, the myth of mutual abuse prevails. In abusive relationships, there is a predominant aggressor. Too many therapists are not educated enough about #DomesticViolence to speak competently about this issue, as we can see from the Depp case. https://t.co/lRiCFCF1w2

Louisiana doesn't just wait for people convicted of #DomesticViolence to relinquish their firearms. They go retrieve them, if necessary. https://t.co/FIZND3Hotv

Poverty is a preventable and curable social ill. It exacerbates a number of other preventable social ills. When will we act like we understand this? #DomesticViolence https://t.co/HfasME944L

Some shows display #DomesticViolence realistically, offering us a chance to see the nuances and many barriers to escape. Britain's 'Top Boy' looks to be one of those. https://t.co/1zXBHt77AW

What if #DomesticViolence shelters offered more than a place to sleep? What if they also acted as small business incubators for survivors, so that their safety was not just temporary? https://t.co/WIwHKyd3DE

A teen in Hong Kong was sent to a detention center after sexually blackmailing his ex into rekindling their relationship. This is how you take #TeenDatingAbuse seriously. https://t.co/gx3nY4jy8n
