Connecting NJ will host an important online session titled "Healthy Relationships as a Foundation for Your New Family." This free event will focus on an often-overlooked aspect of building a strong, supportive family: the impact of domestic violence and the importance of fostering healthy relationships from the start.
Breaking the Silence on Domestic Violence
Many families struggle in silence due to the effects of domestic or intimate partner violence. These experiences not only affect the individuals directly involved, but can have lasting impacts on the entire family unit, particularly children. This session will offer a safe space to reduce the stigma often associated with domestic violence, offering hope and a way forward for those who feel trapped or isolated.
The Power of Connection and Knowledge
One of the key focuses of this session is empowerment through education. By increasing knowledge about the effects of domestic violence and its long-term consequences on family stability, we can begin to break the cycle. This session will provide access to valuable resources and tools, helping participants take proactive steps to build healthy, supportive relationships in their new families.
Why This Matters for Your New Family
Establishing a foundation of mutual respect and open communication is crucial for long-term family health. Untreated stress, anxiety, and trauma can build walls between partners, leading to further conflict or emotional distance. By addressing these issues early and learning how to recognize unhealthy dynamics, participants can better protect their relationships and the well-being of their families.
This session is not just for survivors of domestic violence, but also for those who want to support loved ones, or simply strengthen the relationships within their own families.
