Children in homes where domestic violence is happening are seeing it, hearing it, and experiencing its effects in a variety of ways.  Witnessing domestic violence as a child impacts the way a child understands themselves, their families, and the world around them. These children and youth are in need of clinical support, services, and care from therapists that can help navigate the complicated experience of domestic violence in the home at a young age.

The Best Practices for Therapists Helping Child & Youth Survivors of Domestic Violence training addresses the variety of experiences, needs, and best practices that can help child and youth who experience domestic violence feel safer, more empowered, and less burdened by feelings of shame, blame, and guilt.
