The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence reports that 10 million people a year are physically abused by an intimate partner, and young women, between the ages of 18 and 24, are the most common victims. One of these young women is Bree, from our last episode. In this episode Angel, Former Program Manager for Second Story for Young Mothers, and one of Bree’s most important supporters during her time in the program, shares some more information about how abuse affects specifically young women and their greater circle – their futures, dreams, children, and mental health, while Bree reflects on how some of the broader stats and facts feel personal for her.
