Safeguarding Matters: Series of Level 3 Webinars – Mothers’ experiences of abuse by their adult children

Overview:

In this session, Thien Trang shares learning from her recent doctoral research on mothers’ experiences of abuse by their (now) adult children.

This includes:

• how they experience their children’s abusive behaviours
• how they seek help and the barriers they face in doing so
• what effective support looks like.

These findings have important implications for practice, especially for primary care professionals.
