| Description
The belief systems women rely on affect their ability to acknowledge and challenge the abuse in their relationships and move towards safety. This presentation explores belief-based barriers that deter religiously oriented domestic violence survivors from changing their circumstances. The belief-based barriers identified by women consist of an internal layer of religious beliefs and external social reinforcers strengthening these beliefs. This presentation offers information that may assist Christian social workers to address domestic violence more effectively when working with the religiously oriented survivor.
