How To heal from Domestic Violence

Healing from Domestic Violence this Thursday @ 9pm on the Goddess Round Table Internet Radio Show

Did you know that black American women experience intimate partner violence at rates 35% higher than their White counterparts and 2.5 times the rate of men and other races? Are you aware that approximately 29.

1% of black American females experience intimate partner violence – rape, physical assault, or stalking – in their lifetime? Have you heard that intimate partner homicide is the leading cause of death for African-American women ages 15 to 45?

In addition, black women face a greater likelihood of being arrested along with a perpetrator, and their children are more likely to end up in foster care when authorities are involved.



The Surgeon General of the United States reports that domestic violence causes more injury to adult women than cancers, heart attacks, or strokes.



FOR THIS REASON... I will be addressing how to heal from Domestic Violence as I could not find any references on the internet that said how to do so. All I could find was shelters, lawyers, statistics, organizations.. but nothing on how to heal. My sistas are still hurting and carrying this pain.. If I can heal from this, than so can you.



Make sure you tune into the Goddess Round Table and spread the word to all women you may think are in need.
