Thank you for raising awareness around stalking this month – and we look forward to continuing the conversation during the rest of the year! #NSAM2026 https://ow.ly/sMWc50XRVPs
Professionals helping victims often lack training on stalking. SPARC can help! Explore their webinars, eLearning, guides, and request training. #NSAM2026 https://ow.ly/o1CL50XRVN8
Let's stop blaming victims for stalker behavior. Safety planning is vital, but no one is responsible for a stalker’s actions. #NSAM2026 https://ow.ly/ZILW50XRVLx
Stalking cases can last from an afternoon to a lifetime. Advocates must engage in ongoing safety planning and risk assessment. #NSAM2026 https://ow.ly/OM8K50XRVIi
Stalkers go to great lengths to control their victims, threatening loved ones. Victims with children are especially at risk. Learn about supervised visitation with SPARC’s guide. #NSAM2026 https://ow.ly/2NZl50XRVBV
Too often, stalking is minimized, normalized, and even romanticized instead of being seen for the criminal, traumatic, and dangerous behavior that it truly is. Help us spread the word on what stalking is (and is not!) by educating your community. #NSAM2026 https://ow.ly/O5nn50XRVyi
The casual use of “stalking” dilutes its seriousness. When we hear it used lightly, we may miss real cases. Media normalizes this – learn more in SPARC’s short video. #NSAM2026 https://youtu.be/tif7ROzxpds
Stalking is isolating. Victims often confide in friends before seeking help. Respond with empathy and listen – it can make a huge difference. #NSAM2026 www.stalkingawareness.org/for-friends-loved-ones/
Victims are often told to change their lives to stop stalking, shifting the burden onto them. Explore SPARC’s resources on risk assessment and safety planning. #NSAM2026 https://ow.ly/ihW050XRVo4
Stalking has severe, lasting mental health impacts. Practitioners must help victims plan for emotional safety. Learn more with the Vital Signs project. #NSAM2026 https://ow.ly/XuNe50XRVig
Stalking is a public health issue! It causes chronic stress and illness for victims. Medical providers should screen for stalking. Explore SPARC’s resources for safety planning. #NSAM2026 https://ow.ly/apRg50XRVfx
Contrary to popular belief, stalking is not a misunderstanding. Stalkers deliberately choose to watch, contact, threaten, sabotage, and otherwise scare their victims to gain and maintain power and control. #NSAM2026 https://ow.ly/KkgG50XRVaH
January 18th is the National Day of Action for Stalking Awareness – how are YOU bringing the sparkle today to honor Peggy Klinke and all victims and survivors of stalking? Make sure to tag Stalking Prevention, Awareness, & Resource Center so SPARC can highlight you and your work today! #NSAM2026
Stalking is traumatic. Many survivors become hypervigilant, always looking over their shoulders and wondering if and when the stalker might return. Some never feel safe again. #NSAM2026 https://ow.ly/sTcR50XRV0W
Stalkers can be dangerous, and stalking cases require URGENT responses! Stalking victims need our help NOW. #NSAM2026 https://ow.ly/qcwx50XRUZE
There is no better risk assessment than a victim’s own perspective. Only stalking victims can decide how best to navigate their own safety. Victim advocates can help with exploring safety planning options and strategies. #NSAM2026 https://ow.ly/yZ1b50XRUXJ
Stalking can invade every aspect of victims’ lives, including work. Discover how it affects the workplace with SPARC’s fact sheet and infographic. #NSAM2026 https://ow.ly/Ks7m50XRUVt
Many stalkers involve other people – like mutual friends, family, or colleagues – in their tactics, making it difficult for victims to know who to trust. #NSAM2026 https://ow.ly/7OTw50XRUU2
Stalkers misuse technology to monitor, threaten, and isolate victims. Cyberstalking is as terrifying as in-person stalking. #NSAM2026 https://ow.ly/rUE250XRUP8 www.stalkingawareness.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/...
Ask about co-occurring victimizations! Stalking, sexual violence, and intimate partner violence frequently intersect and overlap. #NSAM2026 https://ow.ly/XwcC50XRUKB
While stalking impacts people of all ages, many stalking survivors are first targeted as teens or young adults. Young people need information, resources, and support around stalking victimization. #NSAM2026 https://ow.ly/lohb50XRUHx
Stalking isn't just about surveillance. It includes tactics like contacting, threatening, and sabotaging victims. Learn more with the SLII framework: surveillance, life invasion, intimidation, and interference. #NSAM2026 https://ow.ly/tTkE50XRUGQ
Context is critical in stalking cases! A doorstep gift can be a loved one's surprise or a stalker's terrifying threat. #NSAM2026 https://ow.ly/bao550XRUEB
Stalkers are often portrayed as strangers, but most are known to the victim—intimate partners or acquaintances. Learn more with SPARC’s eLearning module. #NSAM2026 https://ow.ly/AL2u50XRUCm
