Important article on why recovery & healing from the long term harms of domestic abuse does not tend to follow an orderly timeline. Brilliant advocacy from Melanie Janine Brown MBE. Support may be needed long after a victim-survivor has left the abusive relationship.

Happy launch day!!! So excited that the past 18 months of work with Changing Relations has come to fruition as we share the process, evaluation, & resources in responding to children and young people's disclosures of abuse Durham Sociology CRiVA @DU_RIS_OFFICE Research England

My eldest wrote this and I am just a bit too proud. Part of a longer piece: Where are you really from?

I was telling my students about one of my first conferences at Oxford Uni. I was so excited. Only for the white male experts on race to ask where I was from, say how unusual it was for people like me to be so educated, and that I must have some British heritage as I was too fair.
