1 & 3. Women will report improved confidence and skill building: The programmes are designed to enable women to increase their knowledge and then build the confidence they need to incorporate what they have learnt, into their lives. Women who have attended this course have found it incredibly beneficial in helping them understand the complexities around domestic abuse, identify unhealthy relationships and learn strategies to protect themselves in the future. Back to Me focuses on personal development and the sessions include confidence building, but therapy, including substance misuse, childhood trauma, mental health issues, cultural needs, social care involvement and language barriers. On top of the effects of the domestic abuse they have endured, this can be devastating. The women often report feelings of self blame about what they have been through and True Colours increases their awareness on the real reason behind domestic abuse and takes the blame away form them. Women will report they feel less isolated as a result of attending the programmes. (Build Social networks for women & girls): The programmes bring women together, in a safe and supportive space, who have had similar experiences to reduce feelings of isolation and reassure them they are not alone. Women who have attended the course have reported they feel less lonely, benefited from sharing experiences and have the self belief and confidence to attend other social activities. Women have set up their own regular coffee morning meetings, social media chat groups to keep in touch and introduced other women from the group to other local activities.
