Domestic violence recovery: the hidden truth

from There's No Place Like Home by Future Women · host Future Women

On March 3, award-winning podcast There's No Place Like Home is returning for a fourth season - this time with video as well as audio. It's called Paths to Healing,  This is the story that starts where others end. After the headlines fade. After the crisis hotline call ends. After you walk out of the shelter doors. When survivors face the brutal, yet hope-filled work of rebuilding from scratch. We know that leaving an abusive relationship can cost everything. Your home. Your money. Your job. Your kids. Your health. The life you thought you'd have. Putting the pieces back together can take years, sometimes a lifetime. And what comes next is rarely discussed, poorly understood and absolutely critical.  Recovering from domestic abuse and family violence. It’s not just about surviving, but thriving. There's No Place Like Home: Paths to Healing reveals the innovative programs across Australia rewriting that narrative, with video episodes also available for the very first time. Hosted by Sally Spicer and available wherever you get your podcasts.  In this series, we cover: Bethany’s story & an innovative therapy strengthening the bond between mums and children. Alecia’s story & the frontline workers ensuring homeless survivors find dignity, not just a bed. Rachael’s story & recovering from financial abuse with "narrative-based" coaching. Sono’s story of breaking the cycle as an Aboriginal woman & the community-builders building homes & driving cultural change. Belinda’s story & the fully-virtual program helping women find work after decades of job loss.
