main content Freedom Programme - combating domestic violence

Bromley Council is the first London borough to introduce a new Freedom Programme for women who want to find out more about the reality of domestic violence and abuse.

Details

This free 12-week rolling 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.

Next steps

To book a place or get further information simply call the Domestic Violence Co-ordinator (number below).
Places are free to women living in the borough.
This is a rolling programme so women can join at any point, as long as they come to 12 sessions in all.
