DV’s Mental Health Toll Lasts Decades

Wild stat: women who survive domestic violence can still feel the mental health effects nearly 30 years later.

It’s a huge reminder that healing isn’t just about leaving—it’s a lifelong journey. Researchers say we need way more focus (and support) on this. Did you know the impact could last this long? #MentalHealthMatters #DomesticViolenceAwareness #PTSD #Health
