Abuse Talk & Book Club by Jennifer Gilmour This month Jennifer has exciting news of a new forum she is developing and reviews another book. ABUSE CHAT APRIL NEWS Since the last edition of CCChat Magazine @AbuseChat has gone past another Twitter milestone of 300 followers and we are steadily growing. We have had members join in not just from the UK but also from the US, Canada, Italy and Spain. Its interesting to find out how different countries work in supporting victims of domestic abuse. You can join in every Wednesday 8-9pm GMT via #AbuseTalk I have also spent time in developing an #AbuseTalk forum which will be available soon, I am hopeful for May. I had the idea a couple of years ago and it has never left me but I didn’t know how to implement it, when running #AbuseTalk I soon realised the character limit on Twitter and privacy is a bit of a niggle. The forum cannot be seen publicly unless you register for a profile and it doesn’t have such a restriction for character limitation.Beta testers feel very positive about it and its received its main sponsor which I am delighted about. The Twitter chat will be continuing but it gives you an option to discuss further and whenever you want in the week. Themes covered are that of my own and those who join in, if you would like a particular topic’s covered then you can always get in touch with me via: contact@jennifergilmour.com Anyone can get involved with the discussions, all you have to do is sign into Twitter on the dedicated time and tweet with the #AbuseTalk. The account @AbuseChat will retweet and be involved in the conversation. If you have any articles, blog posts, thoughts, feelings on domestic abuse then this is a space were you can express it. ONLINE BOOK CLUB “More than books, books with messages” Online Book Club is a book club with a difference. Read books that relate to domestic abuse either for interest or for the educational value. There are interviews, reviews, as well as a chance to share your thoughts as talking points and win exclusive signed copies of some of the books featured. If you have any questions or want to get involved get in touch with Jennifer Gilmour, contact@jennifergilmour.com In February we had our very first giveaway for CCChat Magazine. Theres a lot of room to still enter so don’t worry… I have decided to extend the giveaway until the end of this month. The winner to be announced in the May edition of CCChat Magazine. Heres the link: http://bit.ly/ccchatmag THIS MONTH'S BOOK: Broken Pieces by Rachel Thompson Broken Pieces is an award winning book about relationships, a study of women, and a book with heart. Broken Pieces is a collection of pieces inspired by life: love, loss, abuse, trust, grief, and ulti-mately, love again. In Thompson’s most intensive work to date, she opens her soul and invites the reader in for a visit. Thompson goes into those long buried rooms we lock up deep inside and shares a bit of her soul. Broken Pieces is vulnerable, raw honesty, and no-holds barred. 2018 is the Year For Making The Invisible Visible
Jennifer's short review: The way Rachel has written this made her book a lot easy to digest and read in little shots. I do believe others may need to read it like this because of her honest account of what happened to her. Rachel’s thoughts within the book are something I can relate to and I believe her book will make those who have experienced sex abuse or child abuse less alone in their thoughts. Thank you for sharing and for breaking the silence. If you have read Broken Pieces, please share your thoughts with me and I will be happy to include them with the winner in next months edition.
