Recent Study Applauded by Local Domestic Abuse Advocates

A recent study that compared concussions suffered by athletes to those suffered by victims of domestic abuse is being praised by local domestic abuse advocates.

 

The study showed domestic abuse victims suffer concussions in line with what those of athletes, mostly professional athletes suffer. Megan Neville with DeWitt Count DOVE indicates the study really sheds light into the traumatic experience that is domestic violence.

 

 

Neville says the study brings to the discussion of domestic abuse to a new level and feels it was a very revealing study, even though she sees the impacts of domestic abuse every day.

 

 

Locally, Neville says she sees cases where the abuse is so physically damaging but it is not as frequent as other areas. She hopes the study gives the public a better sense of what domestic violence might look like to someone living it.

 

 

Neville hopes the article and it's information will implore the public to talk about domestic violence and take more of a stand.
