The emotional, physical and mental health impacts of domestic abuse are huge, including memory loss, gastrointestinal problems, PTSD symptoms, suicidal thoughts, trouble sleeping, physical injuries, depression, vaginal discharge, chronic pain.
By training and working with the primary care sector through the delivery of the flagship ‘IRIS programme’ for General Practices, together we improve the response and referral of women who experience or have experienced domestic abuse, ensuring their safety, a better quality of life and improved wellbeing.
