[Dorlee]

Expert guidance on how to help victims of domestic violence from Casey Keene, Director at National Resource Center on Domestic Violence. Learn why many victims don't identify as abused and the best screening question: "Do you feel afraid in your relationship?" Key myths debunked: domestic violence isn't always physical, it's not an anger issue (perpetrators are in complete control), and leaving is the most dangerous time. Three ways to help: (1) listen, believe, validate, (2) share resources without judgment, (3) support autonomy. Casey's top tip: Believe her/him/them. Includes five best resources including VAWnet.org and free training module.
