The cycle of abuse doesn’t just harm partners, it shapes childhood. It impacts children and how they show up in relationships. Young children are at higher risk of long-term adverse effects in emotional, physical, social, and behavioral areas. Being informed about the different effects of violence on children helps us understand how we can foster a supportive space for them to heal and recover from these effects.

Domestic violence comes in many forms. Abuse isn’t always visible. It can be verbal, emotional, psychological, or financial. Ultimately, abuse is about power and control. Recognizing these different types of abuse in intimate relationships is the first step toward prevention.

To learn more about the different types of abuse in intimate relationships, check out the forms on our website: https://nyfs.org/community/domestic-violence-and-sexual-assault-services/

We accept most insurance plans and offer a sliding fee scale – because cost should never be a barrier to getting support.
At NYFS, we believe mental health care should be accessible to everyone. For clients without insurance or with high-deductible plans, our sliding fee scale offers session rates as low as $5, based on household income and size.
We also offer flexible payment plans to help make care even more manageable throughout the year.

To wrap up Mental Health and Well-Being Week, we were grateful to host Paws for Purpose in partnership with the Shoreview/ Arden Hills Lions Club and North Star Therapy Animals of Pet Partners.
It was a heartwarming day spent with certified therapy dogs and an amazing community. The event was a powerful reminder of how even small moments of connection can positively impact our mental well-being.
Thank you to everyone who came out, hugged a dog, and shared a smile.
