Abstract
The topic of Domestic Violence has gradually come into the light. Domestic violence has become part of student awareness campaigns and presentations to employees. October has been designated as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month since 1981; but has become more known in recent years. Domestic Violence happens at an alarming rate in many families of all socio economic statuses and racial identities. Sadly, children are many times witnesses and sometimes suffer as victims. Educators are in a great position to effect the outcome of the child victims. Educators should be aware of the signs that victim children display, have the ability to identify victims of domestic violence, and most important create interventions that will positively affect the outcome of a student’s life.
