December is one of our busiest months like all around Christmas but sadly in reality domestic abuse has a huge spike over the December month nationally.

We held our annual Domestic Violence Prevention Convention to mark Domestic Violence awareness month and highlighted many areas of domestic Violence including: coercive control, LGBTQ+, Victim blaming, cyber security, family law, Narcissism and the Domestic Abuse Act.
Our founder Vickie was invited by Women @ Syngenta to give a presentation/training on Coercive control and the impacts on the individual as well as the workplace on 30th November.
