A brilliant piece about our St Mary's Hospital team, showing the importance of embedded youth work in A&Es to break cycles of violence.

Our approach works: 78% of young people are safer following our support.

A really welcome appointment of @Jess4Lowestoft by @wesstreeting.

Our specialist young women's services in A&Es daily see young victims of VAWG. We know that health services play a crucial role in identifying victims and working in partnership with expert support providers.

Tackling violence against women and girls is everyone’s problem – including our NHS.

Very grateful that @Jess4Lowestoft joins us as our new Violence Against Women and Girls Adviser.

Her expertise will help us spot victims across the NHS sooner and give them the help they need.

A brilliant @StreetDoctors campaign to prevent knife crime!

From our work supporting young victims of violence in A&Es, we know that there's just one answer to the #FatalQuestion: there is no safe body part to stab somebody, anywhere can be deathly.

🚨A single stab wound can kill.
Our new campaign The Fatal Question tackles this myth head-on, revealing the real stories of young people who lost their lives to single stab wounds, shared by their families.

🎥Watch the film. Share the message. Help StreetDoctors save lives.
