Survivor Forum

Our Survivor Forum is made up of women who want to use their knowledge and experience to improve education and best practice around domestic abuse, and to develop and improve services and responses for other survivors. We believe that survivors are experts by experience. By collaborating and listening to their stories we are developing a deeper understanding of the impact of domestic abuse and what is important to enable recovery.
