These pieces refocused discussions and helped create a more holistic picture of the academic study of sexual violence, and the necessary and valuable role of co-researchers more specially.
Today was a special day. Members of the @ProsperStudy team, and key stakeholders from across the sector were able to gather together for the first (hopefully first of many) dissemination event to discuss findings from across the PROSPER study from the last 3 years.

Call for all artists, poets, dancers, animators (and others). The co-researchers at @ProsperStudy are looking for collaborators on a creative project documenting their experiences. For more information visit iamlisaward.com/projects/prosp… (please share) @VAMHN @VAWGRN @NinaBurrowes

95% of domestic abuse survivors experience #EconomicAbuse and the cost of living crisis is creating extra barriers for those trying to flee. If you missed @nicolajanesharp speaking on @ITVCentral yesterday evening, catch up on her full interview below 👇 itv.com/news/central/2…
'I experienced years of intense “trauma-informed care” which dictated to me my wants and needs ... and ultimately (and ironically) left me more traumatised than before. It all could have been avoided if someone had just listened to me, and seen the person behind the trauma.'
'Trauma-informed care should be about pulling down the old structure and starting afresh, with the individual sat in front of you at the centre. Seeing them, really seeing them, as an individual.' psychiatryisdrivingmemad.co.uk/post/trauma-in…

Sexual violence is widespread in our society. This means that it is likely we will all witness someone being sexually harassed or assaulted at some point. We've put together some advice on how you can be an active bystander, read more on our website: bit.ly/3ye4Csn
"Over the project span, the whole team have become closer, whilst not compromising the unique role of Co-Researchers."
"I've felt a strong desire from the academic team to make the experience of being a Co-Researcher worthwhile and meaningful."
We at PROSPER are so lucky to have a team of co-researchers within our research team. This year, for #CoProduction Week, we have asked if they would be happy to share some thoughts on the theme of #CoProWeek this year - the impact of co-production. 🧵👇

Excellent role as a research fellow on a project looking at the role of co-researchers working on a study about sexual violence. Someone on my feed must be interested... bham.taleo.net/careersection/…

Just a reminder that making or laughing at rape jokes isn't 'harmless fun' - it is perpetuating a culture in which sexual assault is minimised and normalised. Rape is a serious and traumatic crime - it is not funny.
