We were delighted to collaborate with @annaneurophysio who delivered a series of #laughteryoga sessions to our clients. Such a fascinating area of research and ideal for #socialprescribing 🦋

[@AHP2minTalks @ahp2mintalks]

Need something to look forward to this week? We have a series of three @ahp2mintalks from @annaneurophysio on the evidence for laughter yoga for rehabilitation, depression, and stress. Here's a sneak preview of what to expect

See our page on IG @encouraging_her_collective for a full list of myths in #dv in #LGBTQ relationships (source @GalopUK)

[🦋 Encouraging Her 🦋 @EncouragingHer]

The myths that exist in #dv same sex relationships only serve to minimise the experience of #LGBT #dvsurvivors creating barriers to services needed. These myths may stop some agencies taking the issue of same-sex partnership violence seriously. #16DaysofAction #VAWG

[Hillingdon Women's Centre @HillingdonWomen]

All women deserve access to good quality services regardless of their immigration status. Safety is a basic #HumanRight. Support #StepUpMigrantWomen to make changes possible. Zero tolerance to all forms of #GenderBasedViolence

[🦋 Encouraging Her 🦋 @EncouragingHer]

Including the control tactics we know about, LGBT+ people may also have their sexuality and gender identity used against them as a tactic by the perpetrator to keep power and control in the relationship.

For #16DaysofAction we are participating in @GalopUK ‘Beyond Recognition’ campaign. LGBT+ domestic abuse🏳️‍🌈 can sometimes be lost and we wanted to bring recognition to the issue within the LGBT+ community. Engage with us and share posts, you never know who you’ll be helping🦋

[🦋 Encouraging Her 🦋 @EncouragingHer]

@naomi_jane No - it really doesn’t. Some of the most inspirational people that we have been have been ‘survivors’ who have gone on to drive incredible change in the lives of others. 🦋

@InnerstrengthN @InnerstrengthN Thanks you so much! Feeling honoured to be part of your campaign!

We are supporting National Hate Crime Awareness Week, because although domestic abuse may not be classed as a 'hate crime', it could be if it's motivated by a hostilIty defined as a hate crime. #SpreadLoveNotHate #nationalHCAW #WeStandToether #SafePlaceForAll #StopHateStartHere

GUILT - 'Love yourself' and 'Forgive yourself'

We renamed the EH Dressing Room to 'The Closet', we realised we hadn't actually told anyone (whoops!). It's shorter and classier.

We were due to launch the now 'The Closet' but Covid put a stop to that. Now we're launching in Spring 2021. Watch this space for updates!

[🦋 Encouraging Her 🦋 @EncouragingHer]

With the problems that Covid has caused in the last months, we have thrown ourselves into organising our first stock of care bags. Some members from our FB community group wrote some lovely hope messages to go with them! Looking forward to sharing soon!
