YWCA Metro Vancouver - Concussion Story
Просмотров 13 тыс.Год назад
When people think of concussion, they think sports. But violence by an intimate partner is the cause of at least 290,000 concussions among Canadian women and girls each year. That’s more than 7,000 for every 1 NHL concussion. We partnered with former Olympian and NHL player, Trevor Linden to help bring attention to this staggering statistic as we call for increased research, better pathways for...

Impressive !
Lame 👎🏼👎🏼
My ex used to beat me up and gave me a concussion once and I had to go to hospital. When I got to the hospital the staff decided I was suspicious when I told them my girlfriend had done this to me, so they called the police ON ME. It is a total Orwellian nightmare for abused men in Canada. You are part of this problem.
Care to provide the true numbers on these reports/studies. I know the ones that you are referencing and you are misrepresenting these numbers to the worst degree. Your lies and disinformation is gross negligence regarding this important issue.
Just wading in here with some stats, though I have no connection to this campaign beyond admiring its power and simplicity. I'm an advocate and lobbyist on this issue (intimate partner violence and brain injury) in BC, and it is a HUGE struggle to find good stats that get beyond the broad findings of researchers. That is not because the issue doesn't exist, but rather because nobody is asking about it. Diagnosis/assessment of such concussions requires an approach that simply isn't happening in Canada. However, the Embrace Clinic in Surrey, BC specializes in women who have recent experiences of intimate partner violence, and they have stats. Yes, it's one clinic in one health region in one province, but their stats certainly demonstrate that brain injury is a common outcome of intimate partner violence, and that strangulation - which causes the most serious kind of brain injury - is a frighteningly common occurrence in cases of domestic violence. - From 2017-22, strangulation occurred in 55 per cent of cases seen at Surrey Memorial Hospital among 405 victims of intimate partner violence - Of the 480 patients who visited Embrace Clinic in 2021 following recent intimate partner violence, 60 per cent disclosed strangulation, head injury or both - Of the 524 patients seen at Embrace in fiscal 2022-23, more than 400 reported sexual, partner or family violence, of which 85 had possible head injuries and 115 had been strangled - Forensic nurses at Surrey Memorial in the same time period (fiscal 2022-23) saw 330 patients reporting sexual, partner or family violence, of which 160 reported head injuries, strangulation, or both - BC forensic nursing stats kept since 2015 have found that 65 per cent of people seen for incidents of IPV from the previous week incurred a head injury as a result - An undiagnosed concussion from IPV leaves a woman at three times the risk of a second one, and at nine times the risk for a third if that one goes undiagnosed as well
The good news is that the statistics and claims upon which this campaign is based are entirely false. The notion that 92% of IPV survivors have a traumatic brain injury was based on a study of women with traumatic brain injury. It found that 92% of them had received the injury from IPV. That is a very different matter from saying that 92% of all women who report IPV will end up with a brain injury. The StatsCan data from which it is claimed that 44% of women and girls experience IPV in their lifetimes also notes that 33% of men experience it, and the survey defines violence very broadly to include psychological violence, name-calling, having something thrown at you, and someone trying to force you to perform a sex act you don't want to perform, as well as many other actions. While all of these things may be unpleasant and even, if you squint your eyes, to be classed as violence, it's impossible to see how any of them could cause brain injury.
Very powerful.
With Trevor LINDEN'S support Floodlights can now draw attention and action to help end this disastrous issue..
Great video that totally brings the point home so powerfully.
So important to bring this into awareness! Thank you!

Anne, you are the best! Thanks for all your contribution to the community.
I am SO FUCKING PROUD that I was able to vote her stanky un-elected ass out of office back in the 90's. You see, mulroooney knew he was a goofy progressive, knew he was going to get voted out, so he puts this trainwreck of a human being in place, as a big middle finger to Canadians. Yeah, this woman is distinctive alright, distinctively horrific.
Yet one more reason I am so proud to work for YWCA Metro Vancouver!
Happy to know a Woman of Distinction! Marianne Worcester
I'm going to this!! Hopefully
Disturbing...but in a good way. A reminder that we all needed. I do hope that if I ever have a daughter that I can build a relationship with her that she would tell me if she was experiencing violence. How destructive this must be to deal with alone. That said, I have an amazing Mom, yet I ended up in an emotionally abusive relationship with a man at that age & never said anything. I was embarrassed & I just kept finding excuses for him. I am really glad that didn't end up being my life.
Wow! Thank you for this! It reminded me how important it is to stop pretending and not to be embarrassed. I haven't been physically abused, but rather emotionally abused by two men that I have invited into my life. I was painfully embarrassed by this. This video reminded me that by speaking out hopefully less women will be so embarrassed that they hide the abuse in their lives. Thank you!
