Speyer Hosts Events Highlighting Psychological Impact of Domestic Violence

In Speyer, a series of free events under the "Tage der seelischen Gesundheit" (Days of Mental Health) is drawing attention to the psychological effects of domestic violence. These events are designed to raise awareness and foster sensitivity toward mental health challenges arising from such violence.

The first event is a lecture titled "When Home is Not a Safe Place - Psychological Effects of Domestic Violence and Paths Out of Crisis," scheduled for Tuesday, November 10 at 6 PM in the Historical Council Chamber. Robert Rohmfeld from the Pfalzklinikum, Tagesklinik Landau, will lead this session, which will conclude with a Q&A segment for attendees. Following this, on Tuesday, November 17, from 6 to 8 PM, workshops will address the issues encountered when one's home turns into a place of fear, injury, and violence. These sessions are organized by Social Services of the City of Speyer, the Women’s Shelter in Speyer, the White Ring, and the Pfalzklinikum Klingenmünster, Tagesklinik Landau.

These initiatives emphasize the profound mental health consequences of domestic violence, a critical yet often under-discussed issue. By providing educational and supportive platforms, the organisers aim to empower the community with knowledge and resources to confront these challenges effectively.
