Workshops
We occasionally run self-development workshops covering a range of topics, from rebuilding self-esteem to understanding the impact of stress.
Workshops are either in person or online via Zoom. We also have peer-to-peer workshops, led by former clients to keep that sense of community going and to help women learn new skills.
As a charity we offer all of our services for free, based on funding we’ve received. At the moment, workshops are only being offered to our existing clients – but please keep checking back for updates!
Our self-development workshops provide you with practical knowledge, confidence and coping mechanisms to help you move forward.
Workshops are a combination of teaching, group exercises and (lots of) open discussion.
The workshops are held in a safe, supportive environment, and you take part in discussions when you are ready.
Delivered by an experienced counsellor/group worker, who is a domestic abuse specialist.
Examples of previous workshop titles include:
- What is domestic violence and abuse and what are its effects?
- Effects of domestic abuse on children
- Coping with depression and suicidal feelings
- Healthy vs unhealthy relationships
- Looking to the future – confidence building and voluntary work
The programme is designed as a series of workshops. We recommend that you attend all six to get the maximum benefit.
“I immediately felt safe in the workshops. No one was judging anyone else, and our workshop leader was so caring and supportive. Being with those women taught me that I was not alone: we had each other.”
