The Hidden Cost of Violence – Unveiling the Silent Epidemic

Last week, two team members, Peta Murphy ( Senior Speech Language Therapist) and Katie Hodge ( Service Development Manager) presented at a conference in Whanganui addressing The Hidden Cost of Violence – Unveiling the Silent Epidemic.

The topic of the workshop was The Impact of Strangulation on the Brain- Practical Solutions and Accessing Timely Support.

The conference brought together experts, researchers, professionals, advocates and those with lived experience to deepen the understanding and ability to respond to traumatic brain injury caused by interpersonal violence.

The aim of the conference was to strive for innovative solutions to enhance prevention strategies, support systems and survivor-centred intervention through knowledge exchange, and collaboration.

Thanks Peta and Katie for this important piece of work.
