My thanks to @capcbristol.bsky.social for publicising (www.bristol.ac.uk/primaryhealt...) the Friends and Family Handbook (www.womensaid.org.uk/information-...) recently launched by Women's Aid Federation of England. The handbook is for informal supporters of someone experiencing domestic abuse.

“I thought that domestic abuse wouldn’t happen to me... as nurses, we’re supposed to be strong and resilient, and help everyone else” The UK @rcnfoundation.bsky.social has commissioned research to better understand the DA experiences of nurses, midwives, and healthcare support workers...

🚨 Live now at #VAMHNWebinar! 🚨 We’re joined by Dr. Kenneth Widanaralalage (King’s College London), presenting: ‘Male Survivors of Sexual Violence — Silence, Myths, and Institutional Harm’ #MaleSurvivor #SexualViolence #MentalHealth #Justice

New resource: If you are worried about a friend, family member, neighbour or colleague, who you think may be experiencing domestic abuse, this is a resource for you: www.womensaid.org.uk/information-... It will inform and equip you, and help you to look after yourself as you offer support.

I'm delighted that the Friends & Family Handbook (www.womensaid.org.uk/information-...) is now live on Women's Aid Federation of England website. Writing this resource was a real passion project for me, not least because I have personal experience of feeling out of my depth whilst offering support.
