Clinical Psychologist | Strategy Director at CEASE | Writer | Researcher | Expert witness
I am very excited to share that I have just started as Strategy Director at CEASE (part-time alongside my independent work) – a charity which I have worked closely with over the years and which has long been dear to my heart. CEASE is a UK-based charity taking on the commercial and cultural forces driving sexual exploitation and abuse. We live in a culture highly conducive to sexual harm. There are many vested interests, for example, huge industries that profit from it and work to blind us to its reality. To tackle these forces, we need courage, insight and wisdom – our heart, mind and soul. We need a strong and diverse collective movement; survivor voices and clear evidence guiding the way; and new conversations and clarity at every level of society. At CEASE we are ambitious for all this and more. If you’re interested, please follow our work and watch this space for opportunities to get involved! https://www.downtownmelody.com/_x/Y2Vhc2Uub3JnLnVr
