HOW TO DEAL WITH DOMESTIC ABUSE WITH DR. VASU SIVA

GREATER LONDON YOUTH FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE MIKEY BHARJ SHOW

Dr Siva suggests that we have to continue to stay safe while the pandemic is still with us. We should keep our distance, wash our hands and wear a mask in crowded places. But there is also another concern - an epidemic that many have to deal with - Domestic Violence. As a GP, Visu is acutely aware of the other stuff going on for her patients. A survey that you can complete will help the understanding of domestic abuse in the general population. You can do the survey too. It will help. See the link below.

If you are experiencing abuse, it is not your fault. You are not alone. If you don't feel safe, are frightened, or if the abuse is getting worse, please get support (contact suggested helplines below). If you think you or someone is in immediate danger, please stop reading this and call 999 right away.
