Domestic Violence / Family Violence is unfortunately becoming a bigger problem each and every day in today’s society. Between 2 and 4 million women are annually victimized by domestic violence. Children that reside in homes in which domestic violence occurs often witness the abuse and suffer secondary psychological effects, including aggressive behavior and depression. Male children who witness abuse are more likely to become abusers themselves as adults, creating a vicious, intergenerational cycle of violent behavior. (ABA Domestic Violence Commission).
