Escape Velocity will be hosting a Domestic Violence Awareness discussion for the youth. Coming soon to Boys in the Hood Book Club and Around the Way Girls Book Club.
More information will be available soon.
Background
Children who witness domestic violence or are victims of abuse themselves are at serious risk for long-term physical and mental health problems.2 Children who witness violence between parents may also be at greater risk of being violent in their future relationships.
