Domestic Abuse during Lockdown - with Seema Dhanak

Domestic Abuse during Lockdown - with Seema Dhanak

Alongside the #SpotTheSigns campaign to raise awareness in communities of domestic abuse - Dr Gill interviews Seema Dhanak about how we can offer support to people who are vulnerable in their own homes at this time. 

Domestic Abuse crimes have risen since social distancing has been introduced with 14 women and 2 children being killed in the first 3 weeks alone. As we have had to become aware of our own health and wellbeing and more concerned for our loved ones, neighbours, friends and colleagues, this is a good time to think about those that are isolated at home with an abusive or violent family member. 

Seema helps us to understand the help available from current support services and what we can safely do as individuals if we have concerns

Please share this episode and listen in if you run a single-sex Facebook group whether it has a  business or health and fitness focus

The Heart of a Woman - audio part 1

When I wrote my first book in 2016, I never expected it to have such an impact on so many people. It was a culmination of all my learnings, experience and research from my work in the field of functional nutrition; using food as medicine and the beginnings of the development of my own holistic mind, body, soul approach to achieving and maintaining optimum health and wellbeing. I hope you enjoy the first few chapters. The book is available on Amazon and on Kindle.
