We are the mental health specialists within the #VAWG sector, with unrivalled experience providing specialist (and free) mental health services for survivors of domestic abuse. www.womanstrust.org.uk
The government's upcoming #vawg strategy won't include childhood sex abuse - but over a quarter (28%) of women who can to us for support with domestic abuse-related mental health needs reported experiencing abuse as children. Fragmented policies do not support survivors.

#16Days More women who'd been in abusive relationships took their own lives than were murdered by a partner or ex-partner (data from National Police Chiefs Council).
Lack of access to mental healthcare for domestic abuse survivors is a major yet invisible killer of women.

We've also had to turn away hundreds of women like J. We just don't have the funds to support them. And sadly, we know the consequences for domestic abuse survivors that don't get the mental health support they need - it's a secondary and largely invisible killer of women.

This is what we do at Woman's Trust. We provide a safe, non-judgemental space for women to tell us what has happened to them and how it has affected them. Then we work with them to pinpoint the trauma, stresses and behaviours so they can improve their emotional wellbeing and their lives.

J was referred to us by a world-renowned clinic after they recognised her symptoms and diagnosed her with complex #PTSD. Working with our specialists we were able to help J with her psychological #trauma and #mentalhealth so she could get back to being herself.

(#TW suicide) As we know, too many people in abusive relationships experience depression and their thoughts turn to suicide. The National Police Chiefs Council reported that more #DomesticAbuse related deaths were from people taking their own lives than from murder by a partner or ex. #NoExcuse

Alienation and isolation are two of the most common, non-physical elements of domestic abuse. It doesn't always happen overnight, but it can leave people in abusive relationships feeling like they have no one to turn to for help when they are at their most vulnerable. #vawg
