Student Conducting Domestic Abuse Study
Heather Stephen — a Master of Psychiatric Nursing student completing her master’s thesis — is hoping to speak with women who accessed services related to domestic violence during the pandemic.
A spokesperson said, “If you are a woman who has accessed domestic violence services in Bermuda during the Covid-19 pandemic and are interested in talking about your experiences accessing these services, there is an opportunity for you to do so.
“Heather Stephen, Master of Psychiatric Nursing student completing her master’s thesis in Bermuda wants your help.
“If you have contacted Bermuda’s domestic violence services during the period of March 2020 to December 2021, Heather would love to hear more about your experience. This would involve an approximately one-hour individual interview with Heather.
“The Covid-19 pandemic and shelter in place orders left female survivors of domestic abuse at home, alone with their abusers. During shelter in place regulations, Bermuda Police Service reported that these incidents more than doubled from March to April 2020.
“Bermuda’s community is not talking about the significance of this issue. Because of this, it is difficult to make positive changes to services. You can help improve these services through sharing your experiences. Heather wants to hear your stories. As a thank you, you will receive a $20 Marketplace gift card for participating. Email Heather at stephehm06@brandonu.ca or on WhatsApp at 441-799-0019 to find out more today.”
