We are currently 60% of the way to 1,000 responses in Our Own Words 2026 Survey - but only 29 men have taken part so far. If you are a man who has experienced domestic abuse, whether recently or in the past, your voice matters. ➡️ You won’t be judged ➡️ You won’t be dismissed ➡️ You will be heard This survey is anonymous and exists to ensure services, policy and support pathways reflect the full reality of domestic abuse, including the experience of men. If you are male and this resonates, we invite you to take part. And if you support men affected by abuse, please consider sharing. Because the picture is in complete without you @paullavellefoun @ManKindInit @iamtomskinner @mycwacharity #OurOwnWords2026 Here is the link 🔗 to the survey 👇 forms.office.com/pages/respo…

We had a great morning at The Colonnades launching the 16 Days of Activism against VAWG. Loads of @HPFT_NHS staff came to have a look, lots of them wearing Orange to help raise awareness and show their support #NoExcuse #16daysofactivism #16daysofactivismherts

Lovely training session from our @HPFT_NHS HASTS team today on managing the impact of secondary trauma. Great to have some time as a team to focus on our own wellbeing -so vital in enabling us to support our colleagues.

Really interesting webinar today on Domestic Abuse, learning disability and Autism. Definite food for thought on how we can better support our @HPFT_NHS service users starting with something as simple as using an accessible definition of DA! #safeguarding.

(3/3) The Herts Domestic Abuse & Violence Against Women and Girls Partnership joined forces last week to plant 712 bulbs, in honour of victims of men's violence. Watch this space for the bright orange flowers that will bloom in the spring! @forbabyssake @TheSadieCentre @HPFT_NHS

Tackling violence against women and girls is not a background issue, it’s a foreground issue. I speak to the @Independent about my disappointment that the PM failed to use his landmark speech to mention the govt’s efforts to halve VAWG in a decade. ➡️ independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…

It has been great hearing from some of our @HPFT_NHS Domestic Abuse champions who have arranged local events during the #16daysofactivism. Cake events, outsider speakers, presentations in MDT meetings, all great ways to raise awareness! #safeguarding
