Physical abuse and non-physical abuse are ALL domestic abuse and ALL coercive controlling behaviour.
Tactics of entrapment.
The perpetrator will use whichever tactics work on their victim, and will change them and ramp them up as they need to, the more choices the victim tries to make of their own lives.
That is what is known as escalation.

ICE arrests have surged this week across L.A. in a campaign to "go after anybody" ahead of the midterm elections. Whether you are a member of a vulnerable population or not, this impacts all of us. It is our duty to protect our community and to educate children so they can understand what this means, to support them in processing a scary situation, and provide a safe space for questions and action. As much as we as parents want to protect our kids from this, they will inevitable see or hear things. Speaking honestly while providing age appropriate guidance and emotional support is the best thing we can do to help them feel less anxious.

Immigrant defense groups urge vulnerable people to stay home if possible and create and share a family preparedness plan. ICE raids happen at all hours but the majority are from 5:30 am to 10 am.

If You See ICE Activity

If you see Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity in your community, document the situation thoroughly (if you’re safely able to).

- Note the exact location (address, nearby intersections, city)
- Record the date and exact time
- Count how many officers are present and identify their agency
- Observe and describe what they are doing
- Identify any weapons they are carrying
- Take photos or videos whenever possible.

Supporting young people's mental health starts with listening, understanding, and showing up early. 💚

When a young person is struggling, having people around them who recognize the signs, take their experiences seriously, and help connect them with support can make a meaningful difference.

Today during , we're focusing on youth and young adults — and how families, schools, communities, and trusted adults can help create environments where young people feel supported and able to ask for help.

Because early support matters.

Recently, I experienced the loss of a parent. As a therapist, I spend much of my professional life helping others navigate difficult emotions, but therapists experience grief, sadness, love, and loss.

I share this as a gentle reminder for all of us that grief has no perfect timeline or “right” way to grieve. We have to feel the feels! 🤍🕊
