In the last part of this podcast, we look to the future and ask where we can find hope and progress. We learn about the work of the Fondazione Giulia Cechettin and its aim to educate boys and young men around healthy relationships. We also discover an innovative new app that is helping victims recognize abuse and seek safety. Plus, Dr. Isabella Berardelli, an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the Sapienza University of Rome, explains how victims can rebuild a sense of hope.
