Mums In Need: Online Shop

A powerful new book has just been released, giving a voice to those silenced by coercive control and post-separation abuse. The launch event will take place in Sheffield in November. 

‘Write To Be Heard: Voices of Survivors of Coercive Control and Post-Separation Abuse’ is a collection of writings by survivors. The project was created to give people a voice, to raise awareness of the realities of such abuse, and to raise funds for Sheffield-based charity, Mums In Need. 

After raising funds on Crowdfunder, Write To Be Heard invited women supported by Mums In Need to take part in therapeutic writing workshops. Participants, and others affected by coercive control and post-separation abuse, were then invited to submit their poems and prose to be featured in a book. To protect all those involved, all writing in the book is anonymous (although writers retain their rights to their own words).
