Researching Domestic Violence: Findings from a European project on domestic violence and mental health and project on media representations of domestic violence

Abstract

This presentation outlines an EU funded Daphne III project entitled ‘Empowering Women and Providers: Domestic Violence and Mental Health’ led by the University of Hertfordshire. It describes the key findings from this project and how they provided the stimulus for a second project examining media representations of domestic violence in the UK. Findings from this latter project then follow.
