This session provided an overview of how the batterer and their tactics create traumatic experiences, grief, and loss in children and teens' lives. We explored trauma-informed approaches in communicating with children along with their parents. We highlighted how a batterer's tactics toward the whole family impact the survivor's emotional and physical safety feelings. Helpers will better understand how a batterer deprives their child of empathy and consistency, sabotages the parenting role, and creates trauma and chronic stress experiences. Participants learned about trauma-informed approaches in allying with both youth and parent survivors. The resources and handouts shared will enhance your work with young people and their parents.
