Sheffield mum welcomes all to join in ‘breaking the cycle of abuse’

A Sheffield mum organised a ‘breaking the cycle of abuse’ conference in recognition of World Mental Health Day and Black History month.

It is being held next month to coincide with the two events which fall in October.

Organised by Ursula Myrie of Adira - a support group specifically for black women - it aims ‘to start a conversation around highlighting and breaking the cycle of abuse within the black community’.
