Yesterday Women's Health NSW were privileged to spend time with the team at Women’s & Girls’ Emergency Centre WAGEC delivering our training on non-fatal strangulation and acquired brain injury. It was great to watch the 22 attendees apply the information to the context of their work with women and children in crisis. Every night the team at WAGEC support 200 women and children impacted by homelessness, domestic violence and systemic disadvantage. This support takes the form of case management, biopsychosocial support, accommodation, material aid, and crisis responses.

"My own experience is that many patients still struggle to be ‘diagnosed’ with perimenopause and menopause, and even if they are they often receive incorrect information from their doctor about treatment options, and this includes doctors’ experience as patients," said Dr Ceri Cashell. Dr Cashell goes on to say that with the right treatment, women "often find they no longer need to reduce their work demands nor change their job. It improves their personal relationships as partners, parents and unpaid carers of elderly parents. They reduce alcohol, start to exercise and make better food choices."www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/gp-opinion/menopause-mysteries-how-we-can-improve-outcomes#womenshealth #menopause #RACGP #perimenopause ...

The Australian Law Reform Commission are calling for submissions to their inquiry into Justice Responses to Sexual Violence. They are particularly interested in hearing from people with experience of sexual violence, and community service providers, particularly those who work with groups that are overrepresented in sexual violence statistics. This includes women, but also First Nations people, people from culturally and linguistically diverse (‘CALD’) backgrounds, people with disability, LGBTQIA+ people, older people particularly those in residential care settings, and people with experience of migration or newly arrived refugees impacted by insecure visa status, among others. Submissions will remain open until Friday, 24 May 2024.www.alrc.gov.au/publication/jrsv-issues-paper-2024/#sexualviolence #justice ... See MoreSee Less
