Address the following:

1. What are your thoughts after viewing this film?

2. Research suggests that in the long term, children who have been exposed to domestic violence—especially those children who do not receive therapeutic intervention may be at increased risk of criminal and violent behavior.  Did Beth demonstrate any of these behaviors? Provide examples.

3. Beth recovered from her trauma and is currently a practicing RN who works with abused children.  What are some factors/interventions that help children recover from traumatic experiences?
