Sinopse

In this episode Lilly Lewis, Women’s Involvement Advisor at One Small Thing speaks to Stephanie Bechelet and Thea Arch from Brainkind. Last month Brainkind released a report which found that 80% of women in the criminal justice system in Wales may be living with a brain injury. Alongside this they found the women in the study had complex health needs, frequently reporting histories of domestic abuse, substance misuse, and mental and physical health issues. Lilly speaks to Stephanie and Thea about this important research, as well as their wider work on brain injury for women who have experienced domestic abuse. Please note this episode contains description of abuse and violence and its impact on women’s lives. To read the full report visit: https://brainkind.org/complex-lives/ Find out more about the work of Brainkind: https://brainkind.org/Twitter - @OSTCharityThis podcast is created and produced by The London Podcast Company Hosted on Acast.
