❌ MYTH: "Children aren't affected if they don't witness the abuse." ✅ FACT: Children don't have to see the abuse to be impacted by it.

They may hear yelling through the walls, sense fear and tension in the home, or notice changes in a parent's behavior. Living in an environment where abuse occurs can affect a child's emotional well-being, sense of security, relationships, and development. Every child deserves to grow up in a home where they feel safe, loved, and protected. By supporting survivors, we're also helping children heal and giving families the opportunity to build a future free from violence. #MythVsFact #DomesticViolenceAwareness #ProtectOurChildren #EndDomesticViolence #PromisePlace #HopeAndHealing #YouAreNotAlone
