Posted on by

Women seeking help from maternity homes are often caught up in a cycle of domestic abuse.

Listen in as Ashley shares how she and her team have helped women go from feeling that domestic violence is just the “normal” of relationships, to making cycle-breaking choices that will have a lasting effect on generations to come.
