Freedom Programme
The FREEDOM programme is a FREE 12-week rolling programme. This means that you can join at any point - the benefits are the same so long as you complete 12 weeks. The programme is open to any woman who wishes to learn more about the reality of domestic violence and abuse. The Freedom Programme can also be used to help men who wish to improve their behaviour.
The Programme aims to:
- Help women understand the beliefs held by abusive men and in so doing, recognise which of these beliefs they have shared.
- Illustrate the effects of domestic violence on children.
- Assist women to recognise potential future abusers. (See Mr Wrong & Right PDF attachment)
- Help women gain self-esteem and the confidence to improve the quality of their lives.
- Introduce women to community resources such as Women's Aid, the Police Domestic Violence Unit, The Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre, local Colleges etc.
The Freedom Programme is being run at a number of different venues, to find your nearest group please visit www.freedomprogramme.co.uk
