‘One Step Forward’ Domestic Abuse Training Workshop - for survivors
Our ‘One Step Forward’ group work webinar is a 6-week programme that last for 1 hour 30 mins each week.
Each Session is carried out over a webinar (Zoom). You will be able to see a presentation each week covering the different topics around domestic abuse and the impact it has on you and your children.
You are invited to share your thoughts and experiences, although you can choose to have your camera or microphone off if you would prefer to only listen to the facilitator and others in the group.
You are also able to share your thoughts and experiences via the ‘chat’ function which is useful. The webinar is always a confidential and safe space for everyone.
Following each session there will be a feedback sheet for you to complete if you wish to evidence your awareness around domestic abuse for Social Care, the Family Court or for your own records. All participants will receive a certificate of participation once they have completed the programme.
Please call 02476 444 077 or email info@coventryhaven.co.uk to register for your free place on the course; please note there may be a waiting list for the course, due to how popular and effective it has been.
We are proud to announce that our One Step Forward Programme was awarded the ‘Simon Morgan Award for Participation’ in the 2021 Coventry Health and Wellbeing Awards.
