The National Resource Center on Domestic Violence (NRCDV) today, released the technical assistance guidance, “Responding to the Long-term Needs of Adult Children Exposed to Domestic Violence: Exploring the connection to suicide risk,” through their national online resource library VAWnet.org.
The guidance explores the connection between exposure to domestic violence in childhood and, among other long-term impacts, the risk for suicide in adulthood. The purpose of this guidance is to raise awareness of the potentially adverse consequences of domestic violence on an often overlooked population and provide strategies to reduce risk factors and promote resilience.
