Talking To My Mum:

Domestic abuse can have adverse effects on the relationship between mothers and children. The research project 'Talking to My Mum' developed practical activities to help children talk openly with their mothers about their feelings and their experiences of abuse so that they could begin to rebuild their lives together.

It was set up by CTWR in conjunction with the Centre for Safety and Wellbeing at the University of Warwick, which is well known for its work on domestic abuse. Grant aid was supplied by the Big Lottery Fund. For further information, visit SWELL at www2.warwick.ac.uk.
