📢To conclude our World Mental Health Day series, we are emphasising the importance of survivor voices in shaping the support they receive. By placing lived experience at the centre of services, we can create a more responsive and effective framework of mental health support for all those impacted by domestic abuse. 🌟SafeLives’ Public Health Approach encourages professionals to actively listen to and incorporate survivor feedback into service design. When survivors feel their voices are heard and their experiences acknowledged, they are more likely to engage with support services and enjoy lives free from abuse. 🌠Through trauma-informed recovery and emotional support, survivors can feel heard, understood and supported to recovery. #SurvivorVoice #TraumaInformedCare #PublicHealthApproach #WorldMentalHealthDay #DomesticAbuse Learn more - https://ow.ly/9tMe50TINWT
