THOW BACK THURSDAY 🔹30.06.2021🔹 - Kelly sending out a video message to prepare our parents for the night WhatsApp group. The topic was Body Changes and how that impacts our mental health: What were we expecting to change, when we were pregnant? What did change? How has it impacted our mental health and how have we dealt with it?

Domestic abuse is a blight on our communities both nationally and locally.

Lives, including those of children, are made miserable and destroyed by acts of domestic abuse and coercive control.

We, alongside our partner agencies, have a zero tolerance of all forms of domestic abuse and we are doing all we can to tackle it through strong partnership working and encouraging all victims to come forward for support – right from the first time it happens.

Domestic abuse is behaviour that includes:

• Physical abuse: Hitting, slapping, or restricting freedom of movement.
• Sexual abuse: Forcing or pressuring someone into sexual activity without consent.
• Psychological or emotional abuse: Verbal abuse, intimidation, humiliation, or other actions
• Harming mental well-being.
• Controlling or coercive behaviour: Acts designed to make a person dependent or subordinate,
• Isolating from support, controlling finances, social interactions, or daily life.
• Economic abuse: Behaviour that adversely affects a person’s ability to acquire, use, or maintain

If you, or anyone you know, is experiencing domestic abuse, please reach out for help immediately and early to get help, advice and support.
