Tackling isolation
We know that living with domestic abuse as an adult or child is an incredibly isolating experience. You may feel cut off from family, good friends, work/school and social contacts. Feelings of shame, anxiety and confusion can make it difficult to tell people ‘where we’re at’, ‘what’s going on’ or ‘how we got here’. Feeling isolated and alone can affect our health and mental health. The good news is that we can rebuild connections and with them, our wellbeing and confidence too!

Connect with others through VOICES
Peer support
At VOICES we know that social isolation is a tactic used by abusers to maintain power and control. This impacts people long after the relationship has ended. Healing from the trauma of domestic abuse includes connecting with those that understand this experience.
Groups
VOICES is committed to offering a safe space to reconnect with others and provide mutual support. Our groups are a place to grow the confidence and skills to build new stronger relationships with friends, family and community.
Therapeutic support
Sometimes harms run deep and we need help to feel confident enough to meet others and join groups. This is completely natural. Our individual and therapeutic support can accompany you on that journey towards recovery, and help you feel safe and confident enough to build new connections.
New beginnings
We can help you, through the Recovery Toolkit and 1-2-1 support to create a recovery plan, to make steps towards skills/education, paid work and volunteering. Women we have supported have qualified as lawyers, doctors, midwives, therapists, begun new careers, joined other volunteering schemes and the Women’s Work Lab, started new businesses, hobbies and interests that can all play a part in connecting with others and building confidence as well as economic resilience.
We want your time with VOICES to open doors to new opportunities for you and your families to recover and rebuild!
We can support you
