Domestic Violence Awareness

08/11/2024

Surviving emotional and physical abuse is one of the hardest things to do.

Always have a trusted friend or family member.
Plan your exit.
Stay safe.

Abusive partners escalate fast.

Don't let them win.
Outsmart them.

Ask for help.
You are loved. Even though you think no one can ever love you.

No one should ever be allowed to be violent towards you.
No man or woman deserves to be told that love is "violence".

Walk away.
Your life matters.

So often we only realize after an emotional interaction that it was caused by the trauma we experienced before.
Once you are aware of unhealed trauma/wounds it becomes easier to recognize and your reaction in certain situations may become more balanced.
It's important to realize and understand when this happens to you. These triggers can make you shut down or react in a highly emotional manner (fear/panic/agitation) . Your reaction is a defence mechanism.
Avoiding this issue may seem the easy way out! But once you realize a specific sound, smell, something you see or an emotion you feel because of something someone may say or do is causing this, you can start the healing process.
It becomes easier to manage this when you are more aware and recognize when a situation is not the trauma you went through.

Don't be afraid to seek help. Trauma causes you to experience mental health problems. It's helpful to go for the necessary therapy.
It's time to put yourself first!

Anger is an emotion characterized by antagonism toward someone or something you feel has deliberately done you wrong. Anger can be a good thing. It can give you a way to express negative feelings, for example, or motivate you to find solutions to problems.

What we do: at this center we make a difference to the world by:
Teaching primary school children to handle emotions better.
To guide parents in applying love and discipline so that our children can become responsible adults.
we are a group of counsellors who (under the guidance of a clinical psychologist) help children in small groups learn to play-play with anxiety, anger, self-esteem, bullying and how to adjust to parents' divorce.

The reason why victims stay silent.

Yes, this may be true. And although it seems as simple as that, it is not.
Don't under estimate the power of an abuser.
Sometimes fear is stronger.
For a victim to stand up and tell their story, they need support and a place of safety.
Victims are often isolated and believe they have no one.
Reach out if you see a victim in need.
No judgement. Just a helping hand.

Stay away from toxic people!
They are not worth your effort and love.
