In this episode, Helen Louise Colquhoun sits down with Sara Mak from South Liverpool Domestic Abuse Services (SLDAS) to explore the many layers of domestic abuse. Together, they shed light on the often-overlooked forms of abuse, particularly emotional abuse and coercive control, and the importance of recognising these signs early.

They delve into the role of societal attitudes, the power of support services, and why creating safe spaces for survivors is essential. Sara also highlights the importance of self-care and community connection in the healing journey.

The conversation touches on upcoming awareness events and fundraising efforts for SLDAS, while emphasising the profound impact of sharing stories and lived experiences as a way to educate, inspire, and empower others.
