COURSES
Hope to recovery & THE ADULT DOMESTIC ABUSE RECOVERY TOOLKIT
We also deliver a number of other courses and programmes throughout the year
HOPE TO RECOVERY
The Hope2Recovery Toolkit consists of six weekly one-hour sessions for any adult who is experiencing/has experienced domestic abuse and has been designed to help participants develop an understanding of:
-
The tactics perpetrators of domestic abuse and coercive control use
-
How the experience of coercive control can affect how people think
-
The difference between healthy / unhealthy and abusive relationships
-
Their parenting role and the challenge of being a nurturing parent while in an abusive relationship
Developed by Sue Penna, the Hope2Recovery Toolkit is an innovative, evidence-based group intervention whose underlying methodology is rooted in trauma-informed practice. This unique programme provides a robust framework to help adults who have or are experiencing domestic abuse make the first steps to recovery. Our courses are delivered online and in person.
"They made me feel at ease, no question was silly. Listened to everything I said and gave me advice when I asked for it. Were there to talk before delivery and after the course. Nothing was too much trouble. Really helpful".
"This is a very good course. Makes you see you are not the only one in the situation you are in. Makes me more aware of the signs"
"Hope to Recovery is great, the help I have had through Daisy has been outstanding. I wish it could be taught in schools"
THE ADULT DOMESTIC ABUSE RECOVERY TOOLKIT
The Domestic Abuse Recovery Toolkit is a 12-week group programme that helps participants understand the impact of having experienced domestic abuse, how they developed negative thinking patterns as a method of managing their risk and how these can hold them back from moving forward with their lives. Participation in the programme reinforces the individual’s own strengths, coping skills and resilience, contributing to improvements in health and wellness on a long-term, sustainable basis.
Topics Covered:
-
What is abuse?
-
Self-esteem, coping and the consequences of toxic stress
-
The effects of abuse on children and on parenting skills
-
Self-esteem and affirmations and the power of positive self-talk
-
Anger, conflict and assertiveness
-
Boundaries and trust
-
Losses and gains
-
Setting goals
-
Healthy relationships
The Programme runs for 12 weeks and each session last 2 hours.
The course is an interactive one rather than sitting and listening to those who run it. This helps build confidence and belief that there is life after abuse.
Please do join us. Our courses are delivered online and in person.
This course changed my life. I learnt to think differently, be positive and trust myself. Doing it with so many other wonderful humans, especially our facilitators, was so empowering!
