I assist professionals in acquiring skills that not only enhance outcomes but, when applied timely, can even SAVE LIVES!
Additionally, I educate and empower both professionals and survivors through the Domestic Abuse Breakthrough program, exclusively on UK Health Radio. Each week, I am joined by guest experts and survivors who share inspiring stories of hope and resilience.
As a survivor of domestic abuse, I can say without a doubt, it is soul-destroying for any victim of abuse to not feel heard, seen or believed when dealing with any of the authorities or professionals responsible for safeguarding them and their children.
And this often leaves a victim feeling even more vulnerable and scared.
Hi, I’m Kate, I’m a trauma and domestic abuse breakthrough specialist and dash risk assessor and educator.
Not only have I trained intensively in the world of trauma and the topics that embody violence against women and girls, but by combining my professional expertise with my own personal experience I am confident that if more professionals were trained to take a trauma-informed yet factual approach to risk assessing and equally when engaging in any investigative process it would not only strengthen a victims confidence and trust when dealing with these professionals, but it could reduce the rate of fatalities and improve outcomes for women and girls.
I’m also a firm believer that a big part of the jigsaw puzzle to reducing the rate of fatalities is to arm women and girls with the facts about coercive control, stalking, violence & other abuse-related crimes. And helping them to better understand what is reportable and how best to approach this when engaging with the authorities and navigating day-to-day life. Nobody deserves to live their life in fear looking over their shoulder!
This is why my mission is to bring about a change in how professionals approach this ever growing problem and empower women and girls to transition from victim to survivor.
