Dr Liz Bates

The wonderful Liz Bates. We genuinely were blessed by Liz's presence and her wide and empathetic understanding of domestic abuse and its impacts. Today she spoke about the experiences of men and the experiences of abuse on children and male victim's children. Brilliantly done 💙

This is really sad news
