Standup Speakout

Standup Speakout Childhood Trauma Family Violence/Adult Domestic Violence Survivor, Protective Parent and Mental Health Advocate. We can all help with that movement.

Now turning system failure pain, injustice and trauma into purpose. Raising awareness,helping others,
breaking stigmas and equality. When you are a victim of Domestic Violence, poverty is one of the greatest issues victims struggle to overcome. If they have young children it can be extremely difficult to navigate the workforce and care for children. Government benefits still keep a victim on the poverty line with housing, food, clothing and living expenses. Coercive Control and post Separation abuse are a large part of a victim trying to escape their former partners. Financial Abuse by their former partner can be a huge problem for a victim and a means of control and revenge a ex partner holds over their victim as punishment and revenge. Long Family Court Battles with not enough assistance from Legal Aid and the Child Support Agency having immense trouble with getting appropriate child maintenance from the parent that earns the highest amount of money for the victim causes a lot of problems. Then there is the mental health of the victim and children who will be highly likely suffering with trauma such as anxiety, depression and Post Traumatic Syndrome. They will need help from the medical facility with Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Paediatrician and General Medical Doctors. Some practices will bulk bill but others will ask for full payment and you will only receive a Medicare Rebate back which can cost a victim who is already struggling financially. The Public System is completely overrun for victims, and victims can face a 6 to 12 month wait to seek help for a significant health issue to help them with moving forward. No Parent should ever have to take a child or teenager who is suicidal to the Paediatric Emergency Department to be triaged as non urgent and placed behind other patients that are suffering with other illnesses. Then be placed in a extremely busy and uncomfortable waiting room with their anxiety peaking. As the hours tick by and they are ignored often a parent will just take their child home again and try the following day or call an Ambulance if it's an emergency. If you don't have Ambulance Cover watch out for the over $1000 dollar medical bill that will arrive in the post weeks later with expectations of it to be paid. We live in a world now that is becoming very untrustworthy with scammers increasingly hacking into the internet and social media accounts. People are also forgetting how to communicate face to face and spend so much time invested in their phones that they don't actually look up and see what is around them and instead of helping others they look down on them, judge them and criticise them from ignorance and not having to walk in their shoes. We need to change this and bring back some old fashioned morals in this modern world that made life so much easier, carefree and generally a more happy place to live in. Just Random Acts Of Kindness and Paying It Forward. We have lost so many Humanitarians that were making a difference. Nelson Mandela. Mother Theresa and Princess Dianna. In closing i wish to share this quote from the late Princess Dianna "Carry out a random act of kindness with No expectation of reward Safe in the Knowledge that One Day Someone might do the same For You" - Dianna, Princess Of Wales

It has taken SO MUCH AWAY FROM ME 💔

Complex PTSD is increasingly understood as a brain injury, rather than a mental illness, due to the profound impact trauma has on brain function. Unlike traditional mental illness, CPTSD is rooted in prolonged trauma, which alters the brain’s architecture. These changes can affect memory, emotional regulation, and stress response, highlighting the injury-like nature of CPTSD. Recovery involves healing these brain alterations through targeted therapies and support. Understanding CPTSD as a brain injury helps reduce stigma and fosters empathy and effective treatment.

🚩Police investigate suspected murder-suicide of Australian man and two children in Bali

Indonesian police are investigating a suspected murder-suicide after the bodies of an Australian man and his two children were found in a home in Bali.

🚩 Police found the bodies of 56-year-old Damien John Shaw, along with his six-year-old son and four-year-old daughter, inside their bungalow at Kuta on Sunday morning.

In a statement, Badung Regency police said neighbours checked in on the family after a call from the man's wife, who had recently arrived in Jakarta.

Police said the man's wife called a neighbour after hearing her child cry while she was on the phone to Mr Shaw.

She told the neighbour the call was disconnected and her husband became unreachable.

The neighbour contacted others and then, along with the community head, forced the door to the Kuta bungalow open, discovering the bodies of the children and Mr Shaw.

Badung police said the family had leased the bungalow in Kuta since 2022.

The three bodies were taken to a hospital in Denpasar, where police may conduct autopsies to confirm the cause of death.

A police report was lodged on Sunday, and investigations will continue. Badung police said Mr Shaw was born in Fremantle, in Western Australia.

WA premier describes 'confronting' and 'very sad' case
Western Australian Premier Roger Cook described the news as a "horrific situation".

"We know there is a very confronting situation there," he said.

"This is a very sad situation; our hearts go out to everyone involved. We hope we can get to the bottom of what's gone on as soon as possible."

A spokesperson for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) said it was providing consular assistance to the family of the three Australians who died in Bali.

"We send our deepest condolences to the family at this difficult time," they said.

The DFAT spokesperson said due to privacy obligations they were "unable to provide further comment".

🚫 SEXUAL ABUSE DOES NOT ALWAYS LOOK VIOLENT 🚫

🚩One of the most DANGEROUS misconceptions about sexual abuse is that we expect it to look OBVIOUS❗️

🚩 We imagine Aggression.

🚩 Physical force.

🚩 A victim fighting back , saying NO!

🚩 A stranger who looks dangerous.

🚫 But Sexual Abuse does not always happen that way 🚫

🚩Some perpetrators use Trust, Manipulation, Authority, Coercion and Gradual Boundary Crossing.

🚩They may test boundaries with behaviour that initially seems ambiguous.

🚩They may exploit a professional position, friendship, relationship or position of trust.

🚩 They may minimise inappropriate behaviour, disguise it as innocent, or make the person experiencing it question whether they have misunderstood what happened.

🚫 And THAT leaves Victims confused 🚫

🚩 Was that deliberate?
🚩 Am I overreacting?
🚩 Did that really just happen?

Sometimes it isn't until later — or after hearing that someone else experienced similar behaviour — that a person begins to understand what happened to them.

This is why we need to stop expecting every survivor to respond in exactly the same way.

🚩Not Everybody Screams.

🚩Not Everybody Fights.

🚩Not Everybody Immediately Reports.

And not everybody immediately understands that a boundary has been violated.

A person's confusion does not automatically mean nothing happened.

Sexual Abuse doesn't have to fit a stereotype to cause harm.

I AM MORTIFIED.

This evening I put up a post about a man who has been charged with sexual assault offences against multiple women and is now serving a sentence in prison.

Before long, I began receiving private messages and comments from people identifying themselves as this man’s family and friends.

🚩I was told I WAS LYING.

🚩I was accused of CREATING A SMEAR CAMPAIGN AGAINST HIM.

But while those messages were coming in, something else was happening.

More women were seeing the post.

Women were identifying him.

And women were bravely saying:

“ME TOO.”

We raise so much awareness about creating environments where victims feel safe enough to speak up.

We tell victims:

🚩SPEAK UP.

🚩YOU WILL BE HEARD.

🚩YOU WILL BE SUPPORTED.

🚩YOU WILL BE BELIEVED.

But what message do we send when someone finally finds the courage to speak — only to watch other people rush to defend, excuse or protect the person who harmed them?

Supporting someone you love does not require you to silence the people who say they were harmed.

You do not have to publicly attack victims to stand beside your family member or friend.

Because when victims see other victims being called liars, attacked or intimidated for speaking out, they are watching.

And the next victim may decide:

“I WON’T SPEAK.”

Tonight, women found the courage to say:

💜ME TOO💜

They deserved to feel safe doing that.

Tonight, that Code was Broken.

And as an advocate, that absolutely mortifies me.

BELIEVE. SUPPORT. LISTEN.

🚫I have now made the decision to TURN COMMENTS OFF on that post.🚫

Not to silence anybody.

To protect this community and the women who found the courage to speak.

Because tonight, after witnessing what happened, there will be victims in completely unrelated situations reading those comments.

Victims who may already be frightened.

Victims who may already be questioning whether anyone will believe them.

Victims who may have been building up the courage to finally tell someone:

“THIS HAPPENED TO ME TOO.”

And after seeing people publicly attack and discredit women for speaking about their experiences, some of those victims may decide it is safer to remain silent.

🚩THAT IS WRONG.

🚩SO VERY, VERY WRONG.

We cannot tell victims to SPEAK UP and then create an environment where they are frightened of what will happen when they do.

Tonight my responsibility is to protect the people who trusted this community enough to speak.

And that is exactly what I am going to do.

Comments are now turned off.
