Revealing and upsetting scenes in this film.
These four mums are caring for their sons who have complex needs that result in distressing and harmful behaviour.
They want to highlight the result of cuts in services.

Absolutely right. @MSW_Durham_Uni offers training to its students on this very important topic. Coercive control and domestic abuse affects women and children from all communities and contexts, and across all ages. And we need to do more to empower social workers to tackle this.
Social workers need the skills to provide #DomesticAbuse victims with the right response, every single time.
That's why domestic abuse training must be mandatory for social workers, and must include #CoerciveControl
There are so many reasons why we need to get this right. 1/2

📢Still looking for participants for this project. The perspectives of neurodivergent-led organisations are really vital towards achieving neuro-inclusivity. The discussions I have had so far have been so invigorating & are making such a contribution already to the project!📢
📢Call for participants📢. I would like to hear neurodivergent-led orgs views on making DA perpetrator programs more inclusive. No expertise on domestic abuse needed. This builds on my previous two projects (see thread) with autistic and/or ADHD men & DA program providers.

ALT Research project recruitment ad. Durham University. The project is called Neurodivergent-led organisations' perspectives on supporting male perpetrators of domestic abuse, victims, and interventions. The recruitment asks you to get involved if you run or work for a neurodivergent-led organisation, if you have views on making services more responsive to autistic and or ADHD people and their families. It says you do not need domestic abuse expertise. You can email Nicole Renehan to have an informal chat or participate in an interview. Email is [email protected]
