Domestic abuse is a pervasive issue that affects families across the globe, leaving deep emotional and physical scars. At Sabia Wellness, we understand the profound impact domestic abuse has on individuals and families, and we believe in the power of naturopathic medicine to support healing and recovery.
Understanding Domestic Abuse
Domestic abuse encompasses various forms of violence, including physical, emotional, sexual, and financial abuse. It thrives in secrecy, often leaving victims feeling isolated and trapped. Children exposed to domestic abuse are particularly vulnerable, as the trauma they experience can have long-lasting effects on their development and well-being.
The Importance of Safety
If you are experiencing domestic abuse, your priority is to ensure the safety of yourself and your children. Seek help from trusted friends, family, or professionals who can provide support and guidance. Numerous resources are available, including hotlines, shelters, and counseling services, that can assist you in finding safety and developing a plan for the future.
