Children in homes where domestic violence occurs often feel responsible for the abuse, suffer constant anxiety or fear about their parent being hurt. They may also experience sadness, depression, post-traumatic stress symptoms, have developmental problems, and/or school-related issues. If your child needs support, we want you to know that our children's therapists are here to help.
