If you find yourself in an unsafe and violent relationship, it is important to remember that you don't have to take immediate action or make a sudden decision. Instead, consider creating a safety plan that will guide you when you are ready to leave. By having a plan in place, you can ensure a safe exit if and when you choose to leave. Remember that there are numerous individuals and organizations available to provide assistance when the time comes. ❤️ To obtain a copy of my book that challenges the misconceptions and stereotypes surrounding domestic violence and enhances the reader's comprehension of its complexities in a simplified manner, visit this link: https://buff.ly/3EYFiuh Schedule a session with Dr. Laura here: https://buff.ly/2Va1qe6 #drlaura #drlauracounseling #wifebeatershirtoptional #EndDomesticViolence #BreakTheSilence #SupportSurvivors #DVPrevention #DVAdvocate

Any pattern-based approach to assessing domestic violence and children needs to include how the perpetrator's coercive control toward his adult partner impacts her functioning as person and parent, the children's functioning and the stability and health of the family functioning. This can extend out to other family members. It also needs to include a consideration of what has traditionally been seen as "child maltreatment" e.g., child physical abuse, emotional abuse and neglect, physical abuse and neglect, sexual abuse, medical neglect, educational neglect, etc. And when it comes to male perpetrators, we cannot successfully map this out unless we raise our expectations of men as parents, and increase our focus on understanding how their behavior and choices impact their family members. Low standards for men as a parents hinders our ability to hold perpetrators responsible for the harm they create. Check out how I address all this in my book "Stop Blaming Mothers and Ignoring Fathers: How to transform the way we keep children safe from domestic violence" https://mybook.to/mK39V

This powerful quote reminds us of the importance of empathy in addressing the complex issue of domestic abuse. When we view the situation through a black-and-white lens, we miss the opportunity to understand the deeper issues and provide comprehensive help. In our work, we've seen how essential it is to approach the topic with empathy for all involved, including men who abuse. By understanding the underlying factors that contribute to abusive behaviour, we can create more effective intervention strategies, foster real change, and work towards breaking the cycle of violence. Empathy doesn't mean excusing harmful actions, but it does mean seeking to understand and address root causes to create a safer future for everyone. Let's commit to providing the support and resources needed for both victims and abusers to heal and grow. #Empathy #DomesticAbuse #SupportAndHealing #BreakTheCycle #WorkplaceSafety #DomesticFamilyViolence #PsychosocialSafety

We faced a harsh reality, two clients chose not to press charges for sexual assault. While we respect their decisions, it's crucial to address the systemic barriers that often make seeking justice an uphill battle for survivors. The current system of justice fails too many survivors. It's a system where victims often feel doubted, shamed, and unsupported. It's a system that prioritizes legal technicalities over human dignity. It's a system where the burden of proof often falls heavily on the shoulders of those who have already suffered immeasurable trauma. We refuse to accept this as the status quo. We envision a new system—one where victims of sexual assault feel believed, respected, and protected from the moment they come forward. #SupportSurvivors #BelieveSurvivors #EndSexualViolence #JusticeForAll
