Repairing the Harm: How Family & Friends Can Help Battered Mothers and Their Children

This 18-page booklet will help friends and family understand what battered women and children experience when living with a batterer. It provides insights into how responses from friends and family either hurt or help, and will guide friends and family to understand what they can say or do to help repair the harm caused by a battering father or stepfather. The information and suggestions come from conversations with women and children who have survived battering and who were willing to share their experiences.
