HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I hope everyone enjoyed their New Year celebration into the new decade. There are those among us who do not feel they have a reason to celebrate. Hopefully, these stats will assist you understanding why this is no happy occasion for them.
Children are the most affected by the violence that happen in the home. Most (who do not seek counseling or other supports to deal with trauma) grow up to be victims or perpetrators of abuse themselves. This year, we will discuss different aspects of abuse and how we are able to support our loved ones through the healing process.
Below are some links to help you with other resources on gaining more knowledge on abuse and how to help those you love.
