Domestic Violence During COVID-19: A Deep Dive with Jennifer Oxborough

Being aggressive, being abusive, using power and control to manage a situation unfairly, unhelpfully, that's always a choice. I'm trying to imagine how survivors are really dealing with this.
Life under lockdown has been tough for everyone, but for survivors of domestic violence, it’s been a living nightmare. In this gripping episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters', host Maria Shilaos sits down with Jennifer Oxborough, the Executive Director of the Utah Domestic Violence Coalition. They discuss the alarming 33% spike in domestic violence calls since the onset of the pandemic.
Jennifer provides an eye-opening look at the myriad of free and confidential resources available to those in need, from emergency shelters to legal support and behavioral health care. She emphasizes the critical importance of seeking help early and sheds light on the dangers of staying in abusive relationships. This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt encouragement for anyone affected by domestic violence or those who wish to support them.
As Jennifer poignantly states, 'Being aggressive, being abusive, using power and control to manage a situation unfairly, unhelpfully, that's always a choice'. Tune in to hear powerful stories and learn how you can make a difference.
