TRIGGER WARNING: This episode includes discussion about domestic violence, sexual assault, and child sexual abuse.

 

VSC’s own Victim Advocate and Crisis Counselor, Shaye Stall, the host of the VSC Podcast chats with Nicola Prichard, who is also a Victim Advocate and Crisis

Counselor at VSC, about perpetrators. Nicola and Shaye dive into the nuances of media portrayal, supporting survivors, and the various emotions and/or thoughts
expressed by clients related to still loving and caring about one’s perpetrator even after the abuse.

 

This subject can be difficult to listen to. We, at VSC, understand that this topic can be sensitive to listeners. While it is important to have conversations, we

would like to remind listeners that it is important to take care of your mental health. We also recognize that violence perpetrated by a loved one or caregiver
can be emotionally complex, but we believe all violence is unacceptable. VSC believes all homes should be safe homes and we aim to live in a world where
violence does not exist. If you or someone you know is experiencing violence, please reach out for help. Violence is never your fault, and you deserve to live safely without the threat of violence.
