This conference was hosted by the NWRDATF in collaboration with HSE Social Inclusion and focused on the response of services to Complex Trauma needs for women who may have experiencing Sexual Violence and / or Domestic Violence.
Presentations were made by WAYPOINT North West to launch their research into Service User Experiences from both the Outreach Team and the Family Addiction Support Worker.
In addition the NWRDATF would like to thank all the presenters for their excellent input.
