Settlement stress, money worries and changing roles can put pressure on any household. Sometimes that pressure turns into fear, control or violence. Many Somali families worry that seeking help means gossip, shame or losing their children.
Signs it may be time to reach out
- You feel afraid of a family member’s reactions.
