The Freedom Programme

A free 11 week course for ladies who are or have experienced domestic abuse to look at the different tactics an abuser uses to remain in control and to consider what a healthy relationship looks like. We do offer limited creche spaces for under 5s.

Benefits of attending

  • You can gain an insight of controlling behaviours and how an abuser may present.
  • We have a domestic abuse advisor on hand who you can speak with, if needed.
  • You can meet other women who have also experienced unhealthy relationships.
  • If you have a child attending our creche, they will have opportunities to develop their skills through play.
