The course sessions focus on different types of abusive behaviour; on challenging myths associated with domestic abuse and allowing survivors to share their experiences. Assertiveness sessions are built into the programme; which has an overarching focus on empowerment; education and confidence-building. Groups provide a safe opportunity for women to talk about their experiences and to talk through this with other who have similar experiences. Those who attend can learn coping strategies from others; form supportive bonds; and overcome the feelings of shame and guilt associated with their experiences.
Aurora New Dawn is a feminist led charity dedicated to ending violence against women and children, and hidden violence. Our frontline services focus on safety, support, advocacy, and empowerment for survivors of domestic abuse, sexual violence and stalking.
We also offer a variety of training programmes suitable for professionals of all levels. Using our experience of delivering successful front-line advocacy and support services over many years, our training places the experiences of victims and survivors at its centre. Focusing on the key principles of safe practice and the importance of multi-agency working, learners will leave the sessions confident to provide initial support to victims and survivors, and able to refer and signpost to ensure that they are supported and protected in the longer term.
Sessions can be delivered virtually or face to face. Bespoke packages are also available
