Thank you for supporting this project.
We have just finished a programnme working with 15 women from North West Surrey.
The programme is designed to raise women's awareness of the tactics used by perpetrators in order to exert power and control over them, the affects that the abuse has had on them and the affects it has had on their children.
The group enables women to develope positive strategies for moving forward in their recovery. Friendships are also formed which can help to build confidence and self-esteem.
Here is some of the feedback from the women who attended:
"It has been great to be able to tell my story and been heard and believed"
"It was great to meet others who have been through the same and feeling more normal"
"It has been a very nice place to be and I have learnt a lot"
"Although parts can be painful, it has opened my eyes and made me more aware of the signs. It was a real comfort knowing I wasn't alone"
Thank you for supporting our project. As you can see it is vital to the women who attend it to help them move forward.
