AVA's Health
Project aims to bring together practitioners from both statutory
and voluntary sector health agencies and those working in the
violence against women sector to promote skills sharing and
partnership working.
This is in recognition of how
violence and abuse impacts on a survivor's mental and physical well
being and the need for joint working across sectors to improve
outcomes for survivors and their children. We are privileged to
have Dr Roxane Agnew Davies as the mental health advisor to our
project.
The project began in 2003 with a focus on mental health and the
links to domestic violence resulting in a number of resources and
ongoing training programme. In 2010 we joined in partnership with
Hull PCT to coordinate HEVAN (Health Ending Violence and Abuse
Network).
See also the separate section on the Stella Project which
addresses the intersection between drugs, alcohol and violence
against women.
