Thank you so much to everyone who was able to join! We really valued your time and vital contributions. Watch this space for more to come...

[Prosper Study @ProsperStudy]

Today was a special day. Members of the @ProsperStudy team, and key stakeholders from across the sector were able to gather together for the first (hopefully first of many) dissemination event to discuss findings from across the PROSPER study from the last 3 years.

These pieces refocused discussions and helped create a more holistic picture of the academic study of sexual violence, and the necessary and valuable role of co-researchers more specially.

[Lisa Ward @LisaPinkyWard]

Call for all artists, poets, dancers, animators (and others). The co-researchers at @ProsperStudy are looking for collaborators on a creative project documenting their experiences. For more information visit https://t.co/kf5bOT1lQe (please share) @VAMHN @VAWGRN @NinaBurrowes

[Surviving Economic Abuse @SEAresource]

95% of domestic abuse survivors experience #EconomicAbuse and the cost of living crisis is creating extra barriers for those trying to flee.

'I experienced years of intense “trauma-informed care” which dictated to me my wants and needs ... and ultimately (and ironically) left me more traumatised than before. It all could have been avoided if someone had just listened to me, and seen the person behind the trauma.'

[Dr Claire Cunnington(she/her) @drcisme.bsky.social @Cunning_Claire]

'Trauma-informed care should be about pulling down the old structure and starting afresh, with the individual sat in front of you at the centre. Seeing them, really seeing them, as an individual.' https://t.co/wFvY7CLnaf

[Rape Crisis England & Wales @RapeCrisisEandW]

Sexual violence is widespread in our society. This means that it is likely we will all witness someone being sexually harassed or assaulted at some point. We've put together some advice on how you can be an active bystander, read more on our website: https://t.co/gCiHYBmLhv

"Over the project span, the whole team have become closer, whilst not compromising the unique role of Co-Researchers."

[Prosper Study @ProsperStudy]

We at PROSPER are so lucky to have a team of co-researchers within our research team. This year, for #CoProduction Week, we have asked if they would be happy to share some thoughts on the theme of #CoProWeek this year - the impact of co-production. 🧵👇

"I've felt a strong desire from the academic team to make the experience of being a Co-Researcher worthwhile and meaningful."

[Researching Black women’s experience of SV @SVABWstudy]

I am a Trainee Clinical Psychologist researching the impact of sexual violence on Black women’s mental wellbeing & identity.

Your voice is important & will help us understand what needs to be done to better support black women.

Please share!

[Lisa Ward @LisaPinkyWard]

Excellent role as a research fellow on a project looking at the role of co-researchers working on a study about sexual violence. Someone on my feed must be interested... https://t.co/0FsYf4RQsm

[Rape Crisis England & Wales @RapeCrisisEandW]

Just a reminder that making or laughing at rape jokes isn't 'harmless fun' - it is perpetuating a culture in which sexual assault is minimised and normalised. Rape is a serious and traumatic crime - it is not funny.

Today is our last workshop and we’re very excited to share our work and findings from over the past 18 months
