Esker House Domestic Abuse Support Service’s Post

Supporting children who've been exposed to domestic abuse requires both a trauma-informed and domestic abuse-informed approach. Here are 3 key strategies we’ve found effective: 1. Acknowledge & affirm children’s experience of harm at the hands of a person they love 2. Allow children to express their feelings without judgment 3. Collaborate with the protective parent for their healing & safety What strategies have you found helpful?
