Freedom Programme

The Freedom Programme is a 12-week support programme for women. It is run as a rolling programme, which means you can join at any point. The benefits are the same as long as you can complete 12 weeks. The Freedom programme is open to any woman who wishes to learn more about the reality of domestic abuse and aims to:

Help women understand the beliefs held by abusive men and in doing so, recognise which of these beliefs they have shared

* To show the effects of domestic abuse on children
* To help women recognise potential future abusers
* To help women gain self esteem and the confidence to improve the quality of their lives
* To introduce women to community resources

The Freedom Programme is run from several venues across Bristol. All courses are open to women from any area.
