Breaking the Silence on Domestic Abuse

Join us for an informative morning focused on raising awareness of domestic abuse, its impact on individuals, families and communities, and how we can respond safely and compassionately.

Hosted by The Safe Listening Place Team at Greenbank Church, the event will bring together professionals and those with lived experience to share their knowledge, experiences and insights. The programme will include talks, a Q&A session, and refreshments, providing time for informal conversation and further discussion.

We will be joined by speakers from Edinburgh Women’s Aid, Scottish Violence Reduction Unit, domestic abuse survivors and other agencies committed to ending domestic abuse and supporting survivors. Together, we can help break the silence, increase understanding, and create safer communities for everyone.
