Save the puffy coats for playgrounds and playing in the snow, and use these tips for staying warm and safe in the car....

We want our loved ones to feel safe and supported in relationships. Sometimes, it can be hard to know when behavior crosses the line into abuse. Most people think of domestic violence as physical abuse, including kicking or hitting, but that’s not the whole picture. It’s important to think of domestic violence as behavior that limits safety, choice, or connection with others, or creates fear. The goal of these behaviors is to have power and control over their partner....
