The Story Behind DIP in and out with Lucy.

Born from a simple yet powerful idea: to create a dedicated space where the difficult subject of domestic abuse could be addressed openly and comprehensively. What began as a concept has evolved into an essential resource for those affected by abuse, whether directly or indirectly.

Her Podcast helps break down the stigmas so that we can all learn more about the complexities of domestic abuse and post-separation abuse.

Knowing where to access support for yourself or someone else isn’t always that easy and can feel very overwhelming.

This is where DIP in and out with Lucy steps in.

“For some, it is simply feeling validated in their experience of abuse that can help them move forward,” explains Lucy.

The resources page is a “one-stop shop” helping people find useful resources, support services and access to knowledge shared by professionals. The podcast offers a library of expert voices featuring a diverse range of professionals specialising in different aspects of domestic abuse support.

One of the unique strengths of this podcast is its accessibility during moments of worry and uncertainty. Not just for victims and survivors but also support and understanding for family, friends and work colleagues who may find it difficult to know what to say to a loved one or colleague who has or is experiencing abuse.

It will help people access support on their own terms, exactly when they need it most. Meaning, they can dip in and out when necessary.

If we have the discussion, we can ensure inclusion which can lead to progression in the conversation around domestic abuse.

Latest Episode

Season 6 Episode 1 Michelle John PEGS Child to Parent Abuse Expert

NEW SEASON! And what a season it will be….
I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with the magnificent, Michelle John Founder of PEGS. Her aim is to reduce the impact of CPA by helping parents, training frontline professionals, impacting policy and raising awareness.

“Child to Parent Abuse is where a child (of any age) displays repeated abusive behaviours towards a parental figure. This abuse may be physical, verbal, economic, digital, coercive or even sexual – and it’s thought to occur in at least 3% of UK homes, although the real figure could be much higher.

CPA is not ‘normal’ challenging behaviour experienced by most parents. It causes parents to feel fearful, isolated and like they’re treading on eggshells, forces them to leave their careers and change their routines and lifestyles, and has a profound impact on families.” https://www.pegsupport.co.uk/
