The domestic violence advisor: ‘God breaks my heart with what breaks his’

The Church is made up of Christians from a myriad of different professions, and yet their ordinary tales of God at work rarely get told. In this series, we bring you stories of faith on the frontline

My name is Rebekah, and I’m an independent domestic violence advisor (IDVA) for a charity based in the south-west of England. I primarily work with victims of domestic abuse, both female and male. I support people who are at high risk, which means working with those who are at risk of homicide or suicide.
