🎙️ New Podcast Episode Alert! 🎙️ In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I had an impactful conversation with Melissa Prentice from Bay Area Turning Point, Inc. on the MAMI on a Mission Podcast. We discussed a critical issue—how individuals and communities can better support survivors and help prevent domestic violence. Melissa shared key insights, particularly emphasizing the importance of not putting limits on your support for someone experiencing abuse. She highlighted a sobering truth: urging someone to leave an abusive situation without the proper support or planning can be incredibly dangerous. In fact, statistics from the Texas Council on Family Violence's latest report show that 52% of intimate partner homicides in 2023 occurred after the survivor had taken steps to leave. Melissa underscored the value of empathy and understanding the complexities behind why someone may stay. Instead of pushing for immediate action, the most powerful thing we can do is connect survivors with professional organizations like Bay Area Turning Point, where they can receive safety planning and the resources needed to navigate their way out safely. Listen to the full episode and learn how we can make a difference in the fight against domestic violence. Together, we can offer survivors the support they truly need. 💜 Listen on https://lnkd.in/geNFg_bC #DomesticViolenceAwareness #SupportSurvivors #MAMIonaMission #Empathy #SafetyPlanning #EndAbuse #CommunitySupport

The opportunity to discuss domestic violence with Simone O'Brien was an honour. If you think domestic violence does not affect you... consider how 1 in 5 Australians have experienced violence, emotional abuse or economic abuse by a partner. Statistically, if this hasn't affected you, it will have for someone in your inner circle. Simone's warmth and relatability made this conversation easy. If we all approached sensitive topics with this kind of empathy, we might feel more at ease to have these hard conversations more regularly. More conversations, better awareness, greater odds at standing up and stopping domestic violence.
[Sound on] 🎙 "You are not alone". Police respond to over 140, 000 domestic and family violence calls every year. This equates to 1 call every 4 minutes.¹ Simone O'Brien is a survivor of domestic violence. She shares her story, one of resilience and positivity, in an effort to stop perpetrators and help women with the warning signs to look out for. We were honoured to have Simone join us on the Leora podcast, in our premier episode of our 3-part series dedicated to understanding and combatting domestic violence. Her warmth and vulnerability, but unmistakable strength, will resonate with all listeners. As the state of domestic violence in Australia reaches crisis levels, this is a must listen for all. ➡️ Listen to and watch the full episode: https://bit.ly/3KMuK4m Source: ¹ https://lnkd.in/gZXXy9_i #DomesticViolence #LeoraAI #Leora #EmployeeWellbeing #PeopleAndCulture #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAtWork #EAP #HolisticCare #MentalHealthAwareness #EngenderedViolence
