Episode 21: Listening to the Voices of Children & Young People Harmed by Fathers Who Choose Violence
About This Episode
For too long we have not listened to children and young people’s experience of their father’s violence. In their groundbreaking research, Professor Cathy Humphreys and Dr. Katie Lamb interviewed children and young people about what they wanted to say to fathers who were violent to their families. This episode includes one of the stories where a young person, in her own voice, shares her feelings about her father and his behavior. Katie and Cathy also describe their interactions with the young people and what they learned from them. David and Ruth also explore with their guests how some professionals struggle with confronting fathers who choose violence with the lived experience of their children.
