Act on it Now

A recent study by the Youth Endowment Fund revealed that 3 in 5 young people who were hurt by a parent, or witnessed abuse between adults at home, go on to use abusive behaviours in their own relationships.

Fewer than 1 in 5 do, without that experience.

👉 This points to a pattern, and patterns can be interrupted.

Children are learning what relationships look like from a young age. How people communicate, deal with conflict, show love, respect boundaries and behave towards the people closest to them.

That's why we need to be having conversations about healthy relationships early, while also making sure children who have experienced domestic abuse have the right support to understand and process what they've been through.

We must recognise just how important early intervention can be, and if we want to break the cycle, prevention has to be part of the conversation too.
