Hello everyone…
During COVID many kiddos are isolated at home…and not all the homes are safe spaces for kiddos. Please take 2 minutes and watch this video and be reminded that kids…hold the scars of domestic violence for a lifetime.
We are a number to call…we can help show the way out.
(From Psychology Today) “Domestic violence (DV) takes many forms, including chronic arguing and yelling, controlling behaviors, intimidation, threats of suicide or murder, threats involving weapons, and serious injuries. There is always, however, a destructive undercurrent of power and control, with offenders commonly and compulsively grasping for in a surrogate the control that is lacking within themselves. Any pattern of behaviors in intimate relationships marked by coercive control can be a signal or foreshadowing of abuses.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have reported that in homes where violence between partners occurs, there is a 45% to 60% chance of co-occurring child abuse, a rate 15 times higher than the average. Even when they are not physically attacked, children witness 68% to 80% of domestic assaults. These numbers are a sobering reminder of the toll a violent environment takes on kids.”
Remember, domestic violence doesn’t discriminate…it can happen to any person…any gender.
