We are raising funds to help us deliver and develop trauma-informed recovery groups for victims and survivors of domestic abuse, which would enable them to recover from their experience and go on to live safe lives, free from abuse and violence.

Situation
Domestic abuse leaves a devastating impact on victims and survivors, and many of the people who desperately need our services have complex mental health needs due to the trauma they have experienced. Domestic abuse is still too often seen as an issue of violence alone, yet many of the women, men and young people that we support tell us that the emotional abuse, resulting trauma and mental health implications stay with them for far longer.
Solution
Our recovery groups are a safe space where victims and survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence can talk openly about their experiences, receive tailored, specialist support to improve their mental health and wellbeing, build support networks and increase their confidence and self-esteem. Our groups will enable them to heal and move on from their experiences, and gain an understanding of abusive relationships to help them to identify healthy relationships in the future.
