Domestic and sexual violence significantly impacts on the mental health of women ....more Objective 1: To deliver My Life My Choice over 6 weeks, to 15 women to improve their mental health and well-being. Domestic and sexual violence significantly impacts on the mental health of women with many experiencing anxiety, depression, suicidal behaviour, flashbacks, sleep disturbances and emotional detachment. Women who experience domestic violence are more likely to have experienced emotional abuse and coercive control which directly impacts on their mental health. Through this project, women will explore what confidence is and develop coping mechanisms and positive options to improve their mental health. Objective 2: To deliver Journey to Freedom over 15 weeks, to 15 women to manage their capacity to become resilient and move forward on their journey. Women will be given the opportunity to meet other women to talk about their experiences of domestic violence in a safe and supportive environment. Women will increase their confidence and have a better understanding of the patterns and behaviour of abusive relationships. Women will develop a more positive outlook in their lives, building their resilience which will lead to their empowerment and moving forward on their journey from domestic violence. Objective 3: To increase support networks for women who have been isolated by their experiences of domestic violence Isolating women from their family and friends is an effective method of gaining control over victims of domestic and sexual violence. Without social networks for support, women can become more dependent on their abuser and this makes it harder for women to leave a relationship. These programmes will provide women with an opportunity to increase their support connections with other women by sharing in their experiences and realising that they are not alone in the community. Particularly for women living in rural areas of Co. Fermanagh, we will provide transport for them to attend these programmes.
