Many people abused by their partner are cut off from the world. From their loved ones, their community and in some cases, their culture. Core parts of who they are.

In episode four of There’s No Place Like Home: Paths to Healing, Sally Spicer is joined by Sono Leone Weatherall, founder of Strong Women Talking, award-winning human rights advocate Juliana Nkrumah and Women’s Community Shelters CEO Annabelle Daniel.

Together they explore:

• The power of identity: Rebuilding a sense of self through culture and community, free from a perpetrator’s control.
•  New model for shelters: How local communities are building spaces that provide both a bed and a sense of belonging.
• Cultural healing: Why we must look beyond traditional crisis management to support survivors from culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
