The Impact of Intimate Partner Violence; Domestic Violence Awareness Month Facts
Studies indicate that youth with multiple Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), such as being exposed to domestic violence, face a greater risk of experiencing mental health problems, behavioral problems, substance abuse, and delinquency. Compared to children who grew up with no domestic violence, children who witness violence are at greater risk of having serious adult health problems, including substance abuse, obesity, cancer, heart disease, depression, and higher unintended pregnancy rates.
