Partnered with a Survivor: David Mandel and Ruth Reymundo Mandel
These podcasts are a reflection of Ruth & David’s ongoing conversations, which are both intimate and professional and touch on complex topics like how systems fail victims and children, how victims experience those systems, and how children are impacted by those failures. Their discussions delve into how society views masculinity and violence and how intersectionalities such as cultural beliefs, religious beliefs and unique vulnerabilities impact how we respond to abuse and violence. These far-ranging discussions offer an insider look into how we navigate the world as professionals, as parents and as partners. During these podcasts, David & Ruth challenge the notions that keep all of us from moving forward collectively as systems, as cultures and as families into safety, nurturance and healing. Note: Some of the topics discussed in the episodes are deeply personal and sensitive, which may be difficult for some people. We occasionally use mature language. We often use gender pronouns like “he” when discussing perpetrators and “she” for victims. While both men and women can be abusive and controlling, and domestic abuse happens in straight and same-sex relationships, the most common situation when it comes to coercive control is a male perpetrator and a female victim. Men's abuse toward women is more closely associated with physical injury, fear and control. Similarly, very different expectations of men and women as parents and the focus of Safe & Together on children in the context of domestic abuse make it impossible to make generic references to gender when it comes to parenting. The Model, through its behavioral focus on patterns of behavior, is useful in identifying and responding to abuse in all situations, including same-sex couples and women's use of violence. We think our listeners are sophisticated enough to understand these distinctions. Have an idea for a podcast? Tell about it here: https://share.hsforms.com/1l329DGB1TH6AFndCFfB7aA3a1w1

For those working in the FDSV Sector this podcast is a wonderful addition to self directed learning in the area of MBC, family safety intervention and prevention strategies. Plus some quality topics to reflect on such as how we as agents in a patriarchal system respond to the “angry survivor”.
Really great work thanks.

If one single episode stands out, it’s the 14 year old boy, especially when he talks about how child protection failed this family and why. I’m a child protection social worker and I’ve asked for it to be added to the casework practice resources.
Amazing domestic violence / abuse / coercive control resource.

This is the best podcast series on domestic violence/abuse and coercive control that I’ve found. It is not only validating, but informative, thought provoking and challenging. There is so much amazing work being done around the world, but this is my single recommendation to anyone and everyone. Thank you!
Brilliant
