I Witnessed Domestic Violence During My Childhood. Where Can I Go For Help?
Be Proud Of Yourself For Taking Positive And Brave Steps Toward Healing.
Some people witness or experience different types of violence during their childhood.
Sometimes this violence goes unnamed because many people do not know the behaviours they were brought up with were abusive.
That’s not your fault; it’s all you knew at the time. If you need support because of violence or harm you have witnessed or experienced, there are places you can go to and services you can access. Many of these services providers have multi-lingual.
