2. Learning to prevent abuse, such as recognizing warning signs, setting boundaries, and seeking help, is an effective way to prevent abuse.
3. Distancing yourself from abuse, which can include seeking support from others, removing yourself from the abusive situation, and setting limits, is also an effective strategy to prevent abuse.
