I have forwarded to colleagues in the Rotherham Council Domestic Abuse team who have said they will share to all their contacts. I also said you would make a good speaker if/when we want to do an event looking at domestic abuse in later life.
This 30-minute course uses video, storytelling and interactive activities to help learners develop an understanding of the dynamics of abusive relationships in later life.
Carrie is passionate about raising the visibility of people in later life impacted by trauma and domestic abuse. She provides training to those working with people in later life and offers consulting services to organisations committed to strengthening their policies and practices.
