Domestic Violence and the Trauma in Its Wake - Part 1

Tragically, during the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a noted increase in domestic violence in the U.S. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton and clinical psychologist, Dr. Shannae (SHAWN-ay) Anderson reveal that the ongoing isolation has compounded spousal abuse.

Dr. Anderson reveals the means necessary for a survivor to regain their voice and feel safe again.
