Abstract

This study explores the intricate connection between social support, domestic violence, and teenage outcomes, emphasizing the vital role that social support plays in mitigating the harmful impacts of domestic violence. A thorough analysis of the evidence shows that while school-based treatments, family-centred programs, and community resources are crucial for fostering teenage wellbeing, individual traits like emotional intelligence and resilience also affect results. Evidence-based therapies, cultural sensitivity, and trauma-informed care are essential elements of successful support networks. In order to address the unique needs of adolescents exposed to domestic abuse, policy and practice suggestions place a strong emphasis on the necessity of financing, training, and cooperation. This discussion highlights the value of all-encompassing support networks in fostering resilience and overall well-being in young people impacted by domestic abuse.
