Freedom Programme - combating domestic violence
Bromley Council was the first London borough to introduce the Freedom Programme for women who want to find out more about the reality of domestic violence and abuse.
Details
This free 12-week programme runs in three different locations – Mottingham, Orpington and Penge – and covers a number of useful topics including where people suffering from this form of abuse can seek help.
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
- help women gain self-esteem and the confidence to improve the quality of their lives
- introduce women to community resources such as the Bromley Domestic Violence One-Stop Shop, Bromley Women’s Aid, the Police Domestic Violence Unit and other services available to them in Bromley.
