And the Mid and West Wales Regional Adviser has commented:
As a region we are determined to provide and improve access to holistic and preventative interventions, in order to achieve our aim to eradicate VAWDASV across Mid and West Wales. This includes ensuring that all communities and individuals have access to support that enables them to challenge and change harmful attitudes and behaviours. This is a key priority under our regional strategy, and we are very keen to see the potential impact this intervention will have.
