Children who grow up in homes with domestic violence are at higher risk of developing mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. They may also have difficulty with emotional regulation, aggression, and interpersonal relationships.

Having a strong family relationship is the best protective factor in preventing child abuse. The most important thing is to make our homes a safe haven for our children, so they can flourish and have the strength to deal with all the outside pressures of the world.
