In episode 7 of the Community Connection: Mental Health Series presented by the Brandon Niwa Legacy Fund – The Beej Project, Natasha Carvalho, Executive Director of the Medicine Hat Women’s Shelter Society, shares her knowledge and expertise around the effects of family violence on mental health, and in turn how mental health affects family violence.
She’ll share insight into the prevalence of family violence in our community, red flags and signs of unhealthy relationships, the physical, mental and, emotional impacts individuals endure when experiencing family violence, as well as the services available to anyone seeking support and refuge.
We thank the individual who wished to share their own personal story with us, for their courage in painting a picture to help others understand, to create compassion for individuals experiencing family violence, and for helping to end the stigma around accessing support and services.
