When children grow up witnessing domestic violence, they are being abused themselves. Witnessing your primary care giver, your mother being beaten and psychologically damaged, impacts children’s development, emotional regulation and mental health.
In fact, 60% of children living in violent homes suffer from PTSD and are at high risk of living in violent relationships themselves as victims of perpetrators.
At Yellow Brick House, we are determined to break this cycle. We provide life saving services to women and children escaping violent homes. Families come to our shelters, leaving everything behind so that they can start rebuilding their lives. But the courage of this monumental step alone is not enough. We need the support of our community to make sure that no woman or child is left behind. We need your support to break the silence and break the cycle.
Join us on May 7, 2021 at our virtual gala, with your family and friends, where we will celebrate the success stories of survivors and victors, you will have an opportunity to support Yellow Brick House and will enjoy the entertainment provided by Chantal Kreviazuk – an hour of your time and support will provide an lifetime of freedom for abused women and children.
