The Hidden Impact of Brain Injuries in Domestic Violence
A brain injury is a change in brain function. It can happen when the brain is harmed by impact or violent shaking. It can also happen when the brain does not get enough oxygen. Strangulation can damage arteries or veins in the neck that may lead to stroke and subsequent brain injury.
Ingredients for Belonging
Families at Radiance come from a beautiful tapestry of cultures and backgrounds. As they celebrate seasonal milestones, moments of togetherness are a vital part of their healing journey. But for a family living in shelter, traditions that once brought comfort and connection can suddenly feel out of reach.
Small Moments, Strong Bonds: Moms and Mental Health
At Radiance, we understand that when mothers are supported, families are supported too. A mother’s emotional and mental well-being can shape how safe, connected, and understood her children feel. By listening closely to mothers and recognizing the complexity of their experiences, Radiance offers support that is compassionate, practical, and trauma-informed.
Inside Radiance: Where Art, Healing, and Learning Meet
In a shared space like the hall of the Children’s Centre, the mural becomes more than art. It becomes a language of its own, one that invites wonder, connection, and understanding. One child points to an animal. Another child notices and calls out a hidden letter. They turn to each other and laugh, and just like that, a shared experience begins to take shape. Through these interactions, children begin to build empathy, cultural awareness, and essential social skills.
