Together, they unpack some of the biggest myths surrounding domestic violence and discuss why safety planning and survivor-centered care are so important. The conversation also highlights how domestic violence impacts people of all genders, backgrounds, and relationship dynamics, and why culturally sensitive, inclusive support matters.
