Impact of Domestic Violence on Children & Survivors

*Disclaimer- This episode may be triggering for some due to sensitive content, please be advised while listening to this episode.*

In this episode we discuss the impact that domestic violence can have on both children, and survivors. We start by defining domestic violence before we provide some statistics for both. We then provide a list of examples of how witnessing or being subject to violence can have both short-term and long-term consequences for that individual, both physically and psychologically.
