Domestic abuse is traumatising. It can erode your identity. The impact of domestic abuse on women can mean a lack of self-worth and a lack of belief in their ability to respond to challenges - this can lead to low self-esteem, lack of resilience and aspiration and poor mental health. Women can also lack the strong supportive relationships on which individual, family and community life are built, resulting in loneliness and isolation.
We support women to develop positive coping strategies, to be safer, to recover from the trauma of domestic abuse through one to one support, counselling and therapeutic groups which build women’s self belief, self-worth, hope, aspiration and their resilience. We want to develop a therapeutic nature and create programme incorporating workshops, well-being support and activities to support women to recover from domestic abuse using the power of creativity and nature.
