Children that grow up in households where there's a high degree of domestic violence and abuse tend to intersect the criminal justice system at a significantly higher rate too, and have a higher risk of suicide.
Imagine being trapped at home with someone who hurts you. For many survivors of domestic violence, the COVID-19 pandemic has turned this nightmare into reality. In this episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters', host Maria Shilaos sits down with Jennifer Oxborough, Executive Director of the Utah Domestic Violence Coalition, to discuss the alarming rise in domestic violence calls—up by 33%—and its profound impact on children.
Jennifer paints a vivid picture of how these young minds are affected, from chronic health issues to behavioral problems and an increased risk of suicide. But she also brings a message of hope: growing up in an abusive household doesn't doom a child to a life of despair or violence. She shares practical strategies for parents to help mitigate the trauma, like taking mental breaks and engaging in calming activities.
The conversation is rich with resources for those in need, including the 24/7 support hotline provided by the Utah Domestic Violence Coalition. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complexities of domestic violence during these unprecedented times and seeking ways to support affected children and families. Maria and Jennifer's discussion is both eye-opening and deeply compassionate, offering not just information but also solace and actionable advice.
Tune in to gain insights that could make a world of difference for someone in need.
