When it comes to managing ADHD, a combo approach makes a big difference.

Medication helps with symptoms like inattention and impulsivity, while therapy teaches real-world coping skills such as emotional regulation and social skills.

Together, they create a strong path toward focus, balance, and success.

The cycle of abuse doesn’t just harm partners, it shapes childhood. It impacts children and how they show up in relationships. Young children are at higher risk of long-term adverse effects in emotional, physical, social, and behavioral areas. Being informed about the different effects of violence on children helps us understand how we can foster a supportive space for them to heal and recover from these effects.

Domestic violence comes in many forms. Abuse isn’t always visible. It can be verbal, emotional, psychological, or financial. Ultimately, abuse is about power and control. Recognizing these different types of abuse in intimate relationships is the first step toward prevention.
