Two Everton Women's stars made an "eye-opening" visit to the NSPCC’s Liverpool office to learn about the vital work being done to support victims of domestic abuse across Merseyside.
Midfielder Clare Wheeler and goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan visited the Hargraves Centre in the city centre to speak to families who have received support after experiencing domestic abuse. They also spoke to NSPCC practitioners to learn about the Domestic Abuse, Recovering Together (DART) initiative.
DART is a 10-week programme that enables mothers and children aged seven to 14 to explore their experiences, learn coping strategies and help to strengthen parent-child relationships. As part of their visit, the players spent time playing some of the games that form part of the programme and encourage children to talk about their feelings in a welcoming atmosphere.
