2 Assignment #9 PSTD and kids who witness DV Children who are raised in households where there has been intimate partner violence (IPV) or domestic violence are at a greater risk of enduring adverse psychological consequences, including the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Children's mental health may be negatively impacted in a way that is long-lasting if they are exposed to traumatic events, such as seeing or experiencing domestic abuse. Children and teenagers who see or are exposed to domestic violence run the risk of developing feelings of powerlessness, dread, and anxiety. People who make their homes in environments that are prone to unpredictability and hazards could find themselves in a perpetual state of heightened alertness and anxiety as a result. When a youngster witnesses their parents or carers engaging in violent behaviour against one another, it might make them feel less safe in their own household. It's possible that this may make you anxious and upset. If kids are repeatedly put in dangerous situations, they are more likely to develop PTSD. After experiencing or witnessing a terrible event, some people may acquire post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Children who witness domestic abuse are more likely to develop traumatic stress symptoms such intrusive thoughts, nightmares, and flashbacks. They may also engage in avoidance behaviour, in which they try to avoid anything that might trigger flashbacks to the traumatic incident. Children may also be more easily startled and on the lookout for potential risks because of their heightened awareness of their environment. Children who are witnesses to domestic violence are at risk for developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and exhibiting altered emotional and behavioral responses as a consequence of their experiences. They could become angry, distant, or agitated. Their concentration and listening skills may suffer, which

3 might negatively impact their academic achievement. Many young people resort to self- destructive behaviour as a means of calming themselves. If nothing is done to improve the situation, children's mental health may suffer as a consequence of domestic violence, and this harm may continue into adulthood if the issue is not addressed and remedied. It is hard to overstate the significance of early intervention and assistance in terms of assisting children in dealing with traumatic experiences and learning healthy coping strategies. Children who have seen or been victims of domestic abuse may benefit from therapy, counselling, or just the companionship of others who have been through something like. Carers, teachers, and other professionals have a responsibility to be aware of the indicators of trauma in children who have seen domestic violence and to react appropriately to those signs. It is essential for these individuals to provide sufficient assistance and supplies to the children. If the psychological effects of domestic violence on children are addressed, it may be possible to break the cycle of violence, as well as encourage healing and resilience among young people who have survived abuse.
