Parenting Through Fear and Violence

Loading player...
South Africa is once again confronting the devastating reality of violence against women, following the discovery of women’s bodies across Ekurhuleni over the past two months. A high-level police investigation is underway, with a R400,000 reward for information that could lead to arrests.

On Mom’s Moment, Carol Ofori was joined by counselling psychologist Yolisa Mgobhozi to unpack how parents can navigate these difficult conversations while raising children in an increasingly uncertain world.
