Domestic Violence is a
continuing problem for many families in South King County. It is
referred to by many names such as spousal abuse, family
violence, intimate partner violence but the ultimate aim of all
forms of domestic violence is the same. It is a pattern of
behaviors used by one person in a relationship to coercively
control the other. Power and control can be maintained using
physical, sexual and emotional violence. There is growing
concern about the effects that experiencing domestic violence
may have on children. Children who experience domestic violence
may develop problems with conflict resolution, self-esteem,
trauma reactions and withdrawal.
Join our efforts to:
-
To raise awareness about
domestic violence and specifically about how it affects
children who are exposed.
-
To support a Regional
Collaborative of Domestic Violence Task Forces in South King
County.
-
To raise resources to
support prevention efforts and services for children
experiencing domestic violence in South King County.
