Children and domestic violence: Those most in need of help are least able to help themselves.

Children who live in violent homes always get hurt, even if they aren’t directly abused. Because what they see and hear can be every bit as damaging to their spirits as physical or sexual violence is to their bodies. And we know that children who grow up in violent homes are likely to become abusive adults.

At Safe Harbor, we are especially responsive to the children we help. We give them lots of personal attention in addition to programs that help them learn good ways of dealing with conflict and anger. For more information about our children’s services, Contact us.

Each year, an estimated 3.3 to 10 million children are at risk of witnessing domestic violence in the U.S.
