"I don't like the way I've been treating my partner." To end domestic violence, we must normalize reflecting on our behavior and admitting when we make mistakes.
Abusing your partner is a choice and there are tools, skills, programs, and services that can help people prevent these behaviors. Mary Jane McCarthy, JBWS' Professional Training Manager, joins this episode of Unsilenced to discuss societal perceptions about anger, coping methods for people using abuse, and how we must change the narrative around domestic violence.
