FREE: Many seasoned teachers and counselors know that mothers of needy children are often victims of domestic abuse themselves. They typically minimize or outright deny how bad the situation is. For that reason, we have developed a checklist to help victims gently move through denial and begin to accept help. Too often, women who graduate from shelters, for example, return to the same abuser or go to a worse predator. They think they deserve no more. This instrument is aimed at breaking the cycle and beginning a journey to empowerment. Free review copy via email request. Includes new test for secret child abuse, the first that children can answer without fear of retaliation. Please specify which instruments you would like to see. We serve other groups with other free offers. [log in to unmask] Heyward Bruce Ewart, Ph.D. High Risk Action Council
