Voices Set Free - Introduction to Childhood Domestic Violence

           Presented by: Sarina Rodrigues Saturn, Ph.D.                                  & Louise Bauschard, LCSW

Voices Set Free is presenting an Introduction to Childhood Domestic Violence.  These workshops are aimed at people who are engaged with children and/or adults who were impacted by Childhood Domestic Violence (CDV).  CDV happens when a child grows up in a home where violence between their parents or violence of one parent towards the other is prevalent.  The workshop will bring to light the key question of Domestic Violence that is often overlooked and misunderstood by both professionals and community alike: What happens to the child who lives with Domestic Violence?  

We will cover:

What Childhood Domestic Violence is.

Making the connection between CDV and Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE's)

Viewing the film "The Children Next Door"

How experiencing Childhood Domestic Violence negatively "wires" a developing brain, encoding a series of negative beliefs which can last well into adulthood and adversely affect 4 key areas of one's life: physical health, mental health, behavior, and relationships.
