Chermal Williams: ‘I want children to have the childhood I didn’t have’ | 24

How do you escape and recover from abuse by a parent? John talks to Chermal Williams, Head of Services for Health and Training at the charity Standing Together Against Domestic Abuse, about her difficult childhood. Chermal was the victim of domestic abuse as a child at the hands of her stepfather, experiencing physical and psychological abuse. Later as an adult, she found herself in an abusive relationship. But through reading self-help books, working with children, and finding time for herself, she managed to escape the cycle of abuse, and forge her own identity. You can find out more Standing Together Against Domestic Abuse on their website: https://www.standingtogether.org.uk/ Other helpful links: Childline: https://www.childline.org.uk/ Domestic and Sexual Abuse Helpline: https://dsahelpline.org/ On Thursday in our bonus episode The Gratitude List, Chermal shares the 5 things that she is currently grateful for.
