Dora Milaje Academy

👩🏽‍💼👨🏻‍💼 Why should public sector professionals care about spiritual abuse?

Because recognising it can transform the way you respond to victims and strengthen safeguarding across your whole organisation.

👉 Improved knowledge of spiritual abuse means you can:
✔️ Respond with greater empathy and accuracy when victims disclose
✔️ Recognise the subtle but devastating tactics of control used within faith contexts
✔️ Build trust with communities who often feel misunderstood or overlooked
✔️ Influence colleagues by modelling effective, faith-sensitive safeguarding practice
✔️ Ultimately, become more effective in your role — protecting those most at risk

At Dora Milaje Academy, we’re committed to equipping professionals with the tools and confidence to address this hidden form of abuse.

🌍✨ Our Spiritual Abuse Awareness Course launches soon — but you don’t have to wait to get connected.

What an honour it's been for our very own Dionne Simpson Author to be interviewed in the latest podcast by the Association of Black Humanists -

"Dionne traces a life shaped by racial isolation, church-centred control, and a pattern of strategic grooming that led to a devastating disclosure at fifteen, followed by disbelief and ostracism from both family and faith leadership."

***Content warning*** This episode includes discussion of child sexual abuse, spiritual abuse, coercive control, and addiction. Please take care while listening.

If you or someone you know has been affected by sexual abuse, you can contact R**e Crisis England & Wales (24/7) via their support page: https://rapecrisis.org.uk/get-help/want-to-talk/
