DVACT-PAI were proud to back a new book by writer Jennifer Gilmour
By speaking out and telling their stories domestic abuse sufferers can let those living with domestic abuse know that it is possible to overcome the trauma of domestic abuse and live a happy and full life after abuse. Empowerment has always been an important part of domestic abuse work and the movement to end domestic abuse has been built and sustained by the voices and stories of survivors and advocates. Jennifer Gilmour is one of those survivors and DVACT-PAI are proud to support her in publishing her new book "Turning Trauma into Triumph."
Jennifer’s book will be supplied by DVACT-PAI to survivors who attend their domestic abuse programme for vulnerable mothers. Turning Trauma into Triumph is a practical and accessible resource demonstrating to survivors that they can recover from their experiences which is an important message for all those on their journey towards rebuilding their lives free from abuse. - DVACT-PAI Programmes Manager
What is the book about?

Despite the absence of physical bruises, the mental and emotional wounds run deep.
Through sheer resilience and the support of unexpected allies, Jennifer found the courage to escape and rebuild her life. She shares her transformative journey from victim to survivor, oering practical advice and critical resources for others facing similar challenges. Her narrative is interwoven with educational insights and reections on the long-lasting impact of abuse. Join Jennifer as she marks the eleventh anniversary of her escape and continues her path from pain to purpose. Whether you read it cover to cover or dip into specic sections, this book promises to inspire, educate, and empower.
