Counselors KK Slatten and Ali W**e presented at the MNPS School-Based Mental Health Mini Conference at Antioch High School. Their session, “Safety Planning Considerations for Children & Teens Experiencing Domestic Violence,” focused on how age‑appropriate safety planning can protect young people in a city where MNPD responds to 20,000+ domestic violence reports each year.
They reminded attendees that children can participate in safety planning when strategies match their developmental needs and that schools and trusted adults play a crucial role. In Tennessee, witnessing domestic violence must be reported.
Domestic violence impacts many Nashville families. Age appropriate, survivor led safety planning can make a real difference.
