<span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:140%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The Prince George’s County Family Justice Center, an initiative of the Circuit Court, hosted The Trickle Effect: A Roundtable Discussion on the Invisible Signs of Domestic
Violence and the Negative Impact on Children. The discussion was held on Thursday, March 29, 2018 in partnership with NEHE Foundation and EYSONU Productions, a local small business that raises awareness of child abuse and domestic violence through vocal performances.
The roundtable discussion allowed community residents to engage with local advocates and service providers regarding the impact of domestic violence on children.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:140%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Shene’ Magee, founder of the NEHE Foundation, opened the discussion with a riveting audio clip of a little girl’s call to 911 as she witnessed the horrific beating of
her mother at the hands of her stepfather. This emotional clip provided the perfect opening for the discussion as Ms. Magee highlighted the likelihood of children who have been exposed to domestic violence repeating the cycle by either becoming victims or
perpetrators. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="gdp" style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:140%">
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:140%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Next, Dine’ White, LCPC, a trauma therapist who specializes in providing psychotherapy to youth and young adults at Prince George’s Community College, shared the social
and emotional effects of domestic violence on children. Following, Lt. Matthew Barba of the Prince George’s County Police Department discussed current legislation related to child witnesses of domestic violence which ignited a lively yet candid discussion
in which attendees were able to share their personal experiences. One attendee acknowledged the impact of domestic violence on her children, who saw their father abuse her for many years during their childhood. Now as adults, the children have broken the cycle
of domestic violence by engaging in healthy relationships.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:140%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The Trickle Effect is the first of many roundtable discussions the Prince George’s County Family Justice Center will institute as it remains committed to informing, educating
and empowering the residents of Prince George’s County.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
