Walking with Women: Understanding experiences of child removal

Join Manchester Women's Aid for a full day training to understand how to better support women with experiences of trauma, loss and recovery after child removal.

Manchester Women's Aid know child removal can have a devastating and long-lasting impact, resulting in complex grief, shame, trauma and loss of identity. Women are disproportionately affected, often in the context of domestic abuse, coercive control, mental ill health and housing instability - yet many receive little support after their children are removed.
