During this week's Mental Minute, Michelle shares the success of completing a class for her doctoral program and Seth reflects on relationships in his life (queue: Madea monologue). From there, they begin a discussion on domestic violence.

For the month of March, Michelle and Seth will be discussing trauma related to domestic violence. In this first episode, they review recent statistics that speak to the prevalence of domestic violence in the United States. They also briefly unpack the different types of domestic violence and what's at the center of it all: power and control.

24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, the National Domestic Violence Hotline provides essential tools and support to help survivors of domestic violence so they can live their lives free of abuse. If you are in a situation where you need help or feel unsafe, give them a call at: 1-800-799-3224 (SAFE). The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence's website: NCADV.org is full of articles and available help if you are in a domestic violence situation.
