Domestic Abuse: A Lived-Experience, Male Perspective – Online Training with Andrew Pain

Thursday 14th July 16:00 – 17:30 – Via Microsoft Teams

As a long-term survivor of domestic abuse in a former marriage, Andrew is a lived experience survivor of female perpetrated domestic abuse and will share his story, from how he got caught up in an abusive relationship, to the challenges he faced as a man within the relationship, and the challenges he faced post-relationship, including parental alienation, lengthy court battles, social service involvement and the eventual changing of residency of his daughters.

Through his story, Andrew will also examine:

  • How we equip the next generation to better tackle domestic abuse and spot the signs for themselves?
  • How we can do more to support all victims of abuse, empowering men and women to speak up and seek help?
  • Why parental alienation is complex: not a black and white issue.
  • How our unconscious biases (confirmation bias, affinity bias, halo effect, horn effect, naïve cynicism bias) undermine sound judgement when evaluating other people’s experiences and motives.
  • Why our intuitive gut-based reasoning is flawed and how to make better decisions when time is tight.
