Food Insecurity and the Domestic Violence Survivor
Abuse by withholding food and proper nutrition is a highly manipulative tactic that can often go undetected among women and children experiencing domestic violence. Trauma-informed services at Genesis include a nutrition program that addresses food insecurity through healthy meals, relationship building, and the restoration of power and control to women and children all with the intention of healing both body and mind of the trauma survivor. Connie Test, Genesis' Director of Residential Services, leads the program with a compassion for survivors that transforms food service into nutritional empowerment. This episode discusses domestic violence, child abuse, food insecurity, and poverty.
