WORLD NARCISSISTIC ABUSE AWARENESS DAY

WORLD NARCISSISTIC ABUSE AWARENESS DAY

World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day falls on June 1 on the National Day Calendar and we are dedicating an entire day to educate, support, and promote effective change on this unfortunate world day.

#IFMYWOUNDSWEREVISIBLE

Unlike physical abuse, narcissistic abuse leaves no physical marks. A form of psychological and emotional abuse, narcissistic abuse is invisible and difficult to prove. Yet, its effects are lasting and harmful.

Emotional abuse goes unnoticed is there aren’t any laws prohibiting mind games, browbeating, or name calling. Even though bruises and broken bones heal much faster than a broken spirit, abuse by a narcissist is real and extremely harmful for the victim. Oftentimes, it takes years to recover from this type of abuse.

The only way to end narcissistic abuse is to start by raising awareness and educate people about what it is, the warning signs, and how to avoid pathological people. Arming people with this knowledge is critical.
