Abstract or Artist's Statement
As children grow and age, they often look toward the people in their household for love and support. However, sometimes support at home can be impeded by things like witnessing intimate partner violence (IPV). It can include verbal attacks, yelling, intimidation, ridiculing, physical altercations, fighting, and sexual assault. Unfortunately, the prevalence of IPV may not be accurate since it often goes unreported. Specifically, most of the violence and maltreatment happing in the Latinx community has been unstudied and overlooked in research. Thus, it is important to further study why suicidal ideation and violence seem to co-occur and we need more data to understand how to support those being harmed by IPV.
