Supporting Youth Recovery After Exposure to Domestic Abuse

At Child and Youth Partnerships, we recognize that all young people exposed to domestic abuse are affected—whether they hear abuse from another room, live in a home where conflict and hostility are constant, or are directly involved in abusive incidents. These experiences can have lasting impacts on a young person's emotional, physical, and cognitive well-being.

Children and youth may respond in many different ways, including:

• Anger, anxiety, or depression
• Social withdrawal or anti-social behavior
• Academic struggles—or becoming an overachiever to cope
• Physical symptoms like headaches, stomachaches, or bed-wetting
• Emotional suppression or internalized distress

Through a wide range of trauma-informed, therapeutic services and activities, we help young people recover, refocus, and re-imagine a life beyond abuse.

Each young person is met with care, validation, and individualized support. Our experienced professionals create early intervention plans tailored to their unique needs, strengths, and lived experiences. We actively include youth voice in every step—empowering them to shape their own path toward healing, safety, and personal growth.
