At Butterfly Effect Counseling (BEC), we believe that every individual deserves to live a life free from fear and violence. In this brief blog post, we'll address the sensitive yet vital topic of domestic violence, while emphasizing our commitment to providing support and empowerment to survivors.
Understanding Domestic Violence
Domestic violence is a harsh reality that affects countless lives, regardless of age, gender, or background. It's a complex issue that can take various forms, including physical, emotional, financial, and verbal abuse. At BEC, we understand that breaking the silence is the first step toward healing.
