Freedom to be me is a 12 week course we look at the way that abusive men behave and what they believe about the roles of men and women in society. The aim of the course is: To help women who have experienced domestic violence make sense of and understand what has happened to them. To recognise potential future abusers. To help women gain self-esteem and the confidence to improve their lives, instead of the whole experience just feeling like a horrible mess. This is a rolling, women only, programme running for 12 weeks.
