It Can Happen to Anyone: A Family’s Story of Hope and Action with Vanessa Fowler OAM

In our first ever episode of For Her, With Her, we sit down with Vanessa Fowler OAM, Chair of the Allison Baden-Clay Foundation, to talk about recognising the early signs of domestic and family violence,  including the hidden patterns of coercive control. Vanessa shares her family’s story after the tragic loss of her sister Allison,  how they've turned their grief into a mission to drive change through education and community awareness. Learn about powerful resources like the Power and Control Wheels and the foundation’s campaigns like Toxic Love Signs and Strive to Be Kind Day, all designed to help young people build safer, more respectful relationships.
