Promoting recovery in mental health : executive summary Prepared by Jennifer Holly (AVA). Final evaluation report prepared by Siân Oram, Lauren Capron and Kylee Trevillion (King's College London) - London : Against Violence and Abuse (AVA), 2016 - electronic document (12 pages) ; PDF file: 2.72 MB

Mental health services have a key role in responding to domestic and sexual violence. Women and men with mental disorders – including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, eating disorder, and psychosis – are more likely to be victims of domestic and sexual violence than are people in the general population. Recent research with mental health service users in London found that 70% of women and 50% of men had ever experienced domestic violence, while 27% of women and 10% of men had experienced domestic violence in the past year. Sixty-one percent of women reported having experienced sexual violence during adulthood, and 10% reported having experienced sexual violence in the past year. This is a practitioner focused summary of the findings from the PRIMH project, which was undertaken by researchers from King's College London for AVA. The baseline and full evaluation report (#5440) report and further information about this project is available on the King's College London website. Record #5441
