The Ripple Effects of Violence
This podcast explores the deep and lasting impact violence and trauma can have on families, relationships, and the emotional well-being of both youth and adults. The discussion highlights warning signs of youth mental health struggles that are often overlooked, including behavioral changes, isolation, emotional withdrawal, anger, anxiety, and shifts in social interactions. The episode also examines how the ripple effects of violence can shape family dynamics, communication, trust, and interpersonal relationship skills long after a traumatic event occurs.
