VIDEO SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Not Sure What to Talk About in your Video? Here are the key things:
-
- What was it like to grow up witnessing domestic violence (CDV)?
- As a child, what did you call your experiences of growing up in that home? Does having a name for it now (Childhood Domestic Violence or CDV) help you in any way?
- How has CDV impacted your physical health, emotional wellbeing, behaviors, and/or relationships?
- Do you believe experiencing CDV has made you “less than”…or “more than”?
- Have you been able to overcome the impact? How? Or are you currently on your journey of healing? Did someone (THE ONE) step in for you?
- What is your life (job, hobbies, relationships, physical health, mental health) like?
- What words of advice or inspiration would you give to others who faced CDV?
