We break down what domestic, family, intimate partner, and gender-based violence mean, how control shows up across different behaviours, and why abuse escalates in a repeating cycle. We also share Alberta resources, practical examples, and a clear message: you deserve safety and support.

• definitions of domestic, family, intimate partner, and gender-based violence
• power and control as the core theme
• physical, verbal, emotional, and immigration abuse
• financial abuse, neglect, and confinement
• sexual abuse and consent as ongoing and explicit
• cultural or spiritual abuse
• stalking, harassment, and tech-enabled abuse
• the four-stage cycle of violence and escalation
• Alberta supports: 310-1818, 911 for immediate danger, 211 for community resources
• encouragement to seek help for yourself or a loved one
