  • YOU Can Model Healthy Relationships

    Witnessing domestic violence is traumatic for children, even if they are not physically harmed. The short-term and long-term negative impacts of witnessing abuse can be mitigated if a child has someone in their life modeling healthy relationships! Learn more in today's episode, in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

    Learn how you can identify abuse, plan for safety, and support others at the National Domestic Violence Hotline website: https://www.thehotline.org/
