JBWS is launching a podcast! On October 1, 2024 the first episode of Unsilenced: Real Conversations About Abuse will be available on YouTube, Spotify, and other platforms! This podcast aims to end the culture of silence that surrounds domestic violence through raw and unfiltered conversations about abuse. Guests will likely include survivors of abuse, people who have used abuse, psychologists, social workers, and others impacted by domestic violence. We have already recorded several episodes of this weekly podcast such as: ➡ Why Do People Abuse Others? ➡ Why Won’t Victims Just Leave Abusive Relationships? ➡ What Does Emotional Abuse Look and Feel Like? ➡ Is Self-Care Realistic for People Experiencing Abuse? ➡ What Is It Like to be a Child At Shelter? ➡ Can People Who Have Caused Harm Really Change? Please help us end the stigma associated with domestic abuse by subscribing to Unsilenced: Real Conversations About Abuse! Please also share this post with your followers to help us increase conversations about abuse even more!

Carlos went through JBWS' Abuse Ceases Today (A.C.T.) program three times before he was able to accept accountability for his abusive behavior. Originally, Carlos made excuses for what he had done. However, this time was different and he began to recognize the impact of his behavior on his children. He realized to have a loving relationship with them he needed to change.
