New DV Awareness Program Designed for Paradigm Shifts

I am 100% woman-owned small business.

I am seeking opportunities relating to all industries (especially Healthcare & Education), using cross-system collaborations and common frameworks to accomplish the following mission:

We Are Love, by Seanna Smallwood develops and implements eLearning, live, and public speaking events, workshops, and programs for use by Domestic & International stakeholders in their regional, state, and local jurisdictions to uncover and fill the gaps associated with effectuating a paradigm shift on the $55,000,000,000 US Public Health issue of Domestic Violence.

The programs I develop are designed to reflect a correlation between statistics associated with generational cycles of abuse, substance abuse & addictions, child welfare, mental health, disease control, domestic violence, IPV associated murders, gang violence, sexual violence, human trafficking, U.S. drug trafficking, teen dating violence, economic/financial abuse, mental and emotional abuse, cyber stalking, GR 9-12 adolescent peer abuse, and K-8 bullying VS. the missing objectivity deep within programs.

The key objective is to bring awareness by identifying areas of missing objectivity “from the top-down” in program design and in judicial systems, healthcare, public and private K-12 education, welfare/human services, social/human sciences - to EFFECTIVELY & QUANTITATIVELY IMPROVE economies of scale for government programs and private sector commercial revenues.

If you believe your organization has a need for this fulfillment, please contact me ASAP. My schedule is filling quickly.

Warmly,

Seanna Smallwood,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Southern Maryland Local Author Writes to Empower Survivors of Domestic Violence – (a $55 Billion per year price-tag), with a Change in Perspective

There is a social and legal injustice surrounding the topic of domestic violence all over the U.S. and throughout the world. According to a research study by Case Western Reserve University, exposure to domestic violence carries a hefty $55 billion annual price tag for the federal government, (http://thedaily.case.edu/exposure-domestic-violence-cost-u-s-government-55-billion-year/ ). Yet, in spite of continual efforts by local community services and programs involved in the movement to spread awareness to prevent domestic violence in their communities, destructive and neglectful practices persist inside the legal, social, commercial, and public health local infrastructures. Turning the blind-eye is no longer serving US Citizens now that we’ve monetized the cost.

Looking into the facts of the local domestic violence case of James Walter Harley, Jr., of whom was convicted this week on murder charges for killing his wife and mother of their two children, Lusby’s beloved Tanya Louise Harley. According to the news released on May 2, 2018, the States Attorney’s office investigation concluded there were three protective orders against the assailant and the facts reported clearly demonstrate a pattern of abuse.

Communities become destructive and neglectful when their systems and programs fail to empower and protect victims of domestic violence, to include children that may be involved. There is a magnitude of information available on the effects of witnessing domestic violence in the child’s environment that are attributed to violence and bullying in schools – the pattern is a cycle and repeats, fosters growth for the future of the child if neglected or ignored. Not all children that have survived domestic violence become bullies or assailants – but all bullies and assailants were abused or neglected as children.

The cycle repeats for those little girls whose parents may have also been on a cycle from their parent’s cycle, and so on the cycle continues, propagating through generations of abuse and neglect. To gain a complete understanding of “abuse” we must change our cognitive thinking as identifying with the term “abuse” as being confined to physical assault – as the current, outdated law prescribes. For example, the National Institute of Justice defines Intimate Partner Violence, historically called “domestic violence” as being “physical, sexual, or psychological harm…”. The problem arises inside the destructive and neglectful local criminal justice system when State and local police departments must use outdated criminal charging documents, systems, and protocol for charging perpetrators. The police officer responding to a scene of domestic violence would likely be ridiculed or even disciplined by their peers and supervisors should they issue a charge against a person for “mental abuse” – not because they don’t agree with the victim reporting abuse, but because the charge wouldn’t hold up in court.

To further the issue, District Court Commissioners are not provided with the proper authority to read between the lines on the topic of abuse – where a victim may apply for charges or a protective order on the basis of a threat or physical harm (where assault/battery would be the charge), the charging documents are not set up for application for charges of “psychological abuse.” This also applies for the application of charges by police departments. Is there an annotated code or law outlined for such charge? Absolutely not – and there absolutely needs to be.

Seanna Smallwood, former life-long resident of Charles County, was on the cycle of abuse where she admits to repetitively attracting persons that mistreated her into her life. After a brutal marriage to a former Calvert county resident, Seanna recognized the pattern, gained the courage to leave her abuser, filed for divorce, and filed for charges against her husband in a courageous effort to seek justice for herself and her children. Abuse is defined as “power and control” over another person. Typically, a victim is reluctant to leave their abuser because of what they will lose. Coming forth in spite of what a survivor risks losing in the process, is courageous – as they risk everything relative to reputation, money, transportation, safety (as further intensified abuse is statistically the outcome), and social abuse that could never be monetized. A cycle can be explained as a repetitive pattern due to cognitive dissonance associated with fear of the unknown, the different, the familiar experiences.

Here’s where the system fails survivors of domestic violence. After many occurrences of local judicial system failure to recognize the patterns of perpetrators and hold them accountable – the system instead recognizes the victim pattern of being victimized and uses it against them by the defense. The current due process of law in this fashion, supports violent and non-violent domestic violence abusers by returning not-guilty verdicts based on reasonable doubt. In Seanna’s case with her former husband, the fact that he was a convicted felon was never mentioned by State prosecution – however, as a witness for the State, the pattern of being the courageous survivor that brings forth awareness through applicable charges was used instead. I feel it is unswervingly necessary to also point out that in instances where the legal system fails to recognize the pattern of the perpetrator over state lines, the perpetrator escapes federal charges.

During an expensive and exhausting period of delayed protective order hearings, appeals, divorce hearings, etc., the abuse intensified with the use of coercive power and control by her husband using slanderous smear campaigns to economically, socially, and financially abuse her further. Exhausted and emotionally and financially drained, Seanna packed up her family and relocated to a random location one thousand miles away from her hometown of Southern Maryland – a thirty-five-year resident. Once she was able to regain a little stability, get her children adjusted and begin the healing process, she awakened to the fact that she was on a cycle. Seanna began the healing process and expanded her healing efforts to include empathy and compassion for her perpetrators and also gained a passion for healing others. In doing so, Seanna wrote a book (her 2nd self-published book) entitled, “Letters to the Soul: The Guide to Spiritual Awakening. Her book teaches how to recognize the cycles and patterns. She offers an alternative perception as to “why this happened to me” – allowing the transformation from victim to warrior in a single sentence and provides a step-by-step process to healing and becoming empowered to step into your own journey.

Since publishing the book (available on amazon), Seanna has entrenched herself in learning and getting professional certifications for advocating against domestic violence and passionately driven to effectuate change in social and legal systems across the US. Seanna is an Author, and Certified Public Speaker, Trainer and Empowerment Life Coach with The John Maxwell Team. She also sells real estate in Maryland and is a licensed mortgage loan officer for First Washington Mortgage (NMLS 1252825) in Maryland and Florida.
