Great to listen to Alice here - raising awareness and letting people know there can be change! #CAPVA
Exciting news!
Our very own Alice Lilley, Implementation Lead for the Respect Young People’s Service, was on the Voice of Islam radio last week talking about child and adolescent to parent violence and abuse (CAPVA) - the barriers, causes, risks & impacts that this form of abuse has on families.
