Session Descriptor

A follow up from Parts 1-4 of The Spider In The Glass with Myra Ross where we look at by whom, why and how the silence around abusive relationships is maintained. 

Aim of Session:  We will broaden our perspective and consider why we so often hear "everyone knew but nobody said"

What is it that prevents the breaking of the silence?  What else breaks with the silence?

•  In families

• In communities

• In organisations.
