The winter season is all about holiday cheer and spending time with loved ones. For many of us, this time of year is lovely. Unfortunately, the holiday season can be lonely or traumatizing for victims and survivors of domestic violence. In this episode of Confabulation, in preparation for the next few weeks, we discuss what the holidays might look like for victims and survivors of domestic violence and how you can create a safety plan for yourself or someone you know.
