@ProfRArmitage TalkingForward Thank you @ProfRArmitage . It was a really engaging session with some very troubling stories, which I hope we can eradicate from future investigations. Thank you to TalkingForward for inviting me and keep up the fabulous work.

Thank you so much Tom. You are making such a difference and we cannot thank you enough for your time 🌟

Our Leeds f-2-f group has moved to online for today. We always have 2 facilitators & sometimes struggle for numbers (although this is rare). To this end, we will be looking to recruit passionate/awesome volunteers in the coming months. Drop us a message if you are interested 🌟

Thanks back at you 🌟

Online group this evening - 1830-2000. These sessions are open to anyone across the UK, free and for as long as you want to attend.

It’s our face to face group in Leeds today 11:00-13:00. Since we started in 2022, we have increased to 4 groups per month. We have 250 clients and are averaging 19 new referrals per month. I wish we didn’t need to exist, but the need for support is increasing all the time.

Why did Huw Edwards avoid prison? Is this evidence of “two-tier justice”? Let’s take a quick look. 🧵 TLDR: This is an entirely expected sentence for offences of this type.

Thanks to our co-founder caroline webster for contributing to BBC Radio 5 Live this morning. She used the small amount of time to explain the damage to families and to convey the support we can offer you. Please get in touch if you are a family member and want to talk.

Thank you BBC Radio 5 Live for having me on today to talk about the impact of accessing online child sexual material on families and partners and the support TalkingForward can offer. If anyone would like more information about us, please head to our website and get in touch.

@ProfRArmitage BBC Radio 5 Live TalkingForward Not enough time to talk about what we offer but hopefully people heard the name and can look us up on the website and get in touch for support 🤞

A raw but honest and supportive session with partners and family members on TalkingForward . The impact of the media attention about Hew Edwards case has had such an impact. As always, we are in awe of the groups resilience and compassion. Thank you to everyone who attended.

Lucy R TalkingForward Thank you Lucy, though we facilitate the meeting happening, they are all powerhouses for each other. The strength and compassion in the room, despite their own discomfort is always inspiring.
