youtu.be/6I0UiDJa5dw?si=omSo… This interview from #JayeGriffiths is so moving and honest. As a facilitator of the #Freedomprogramme this is so powerful. Patience and care is a key message along with reaching out to people that can help

Now I've given a lot of praise to @newpathways_ and I have to admit I found the #freedomprogramme by @WelshWomensAid to be a lifesaver. The resilience programme was also very good. Now I was recommended the #ownmylife programme and I did this. I think its an amazing programme for women who have left #DomesticAbuse and have #autonomy. For others this is not a good programme. As we know victims have lost their children due to the #FamilyCourt or they only see their children for a limited time. They don't own their lives their perpetrators and the court own their life, their choices, their freedom. So in those cases I dont think the course is helpful. In fact it can make victims feel worse

During the #FreedomProgramme this week, the group took part in art activities looking at the #positive qualities #women have. Read all about the session, and learn about #ArtTherapy on our blog: nidas.org.uk/empowering-wome… #IWD2024 #empoweringwomen #domesticabuse #Support #freedom

Can I big up the #Freedomprogramme - for women to recognise and become aware of abusive behaviour. Hope it's available for abused men one day.

Huge Congratulations to our team member Char for completing the facilitator training for Freedom Programme this week. We are so proud of you, striving hard as always to be the best for the women who come to us for support and education 🥰 #freedomprogramme #domesticabuseawareness

I don't believe any victim should be made to do therapy or mediation with an abuser. Through trauma therapy I've realised how deep seated it is within me to blame myself and how he used to blame me. This then happened with children's services and #FamilyCourt So now it's like entrenched in me. It shouldn't be my blame. I didn't choose to be a victim of #DomesticAbuse I chose to walk. I didn't choose to be abused post separation. I didn't choose for my ex to continue using drugs. I didn't want a fight. I wanted 50/50 as long as safeguarding measures were In place my ex wouldn't give an inch. He got what he wanted. Me under his control. I'm sick of blaming myself for bringing my eldest into the world. Sick of blaming myself for my exes abuse. Sick of blaming myself for leaving. Sick of blaming myself for reporting abuse Sick of blaming myself for taking it to family court thinking it would save me and my son from this #abuse. Sick of blaming myself or others blaming me for my ex not communicating with me Sick of being blamed for me having an issue for having my young son around drug addicts. Sick of blaming myself if I'd come across better in court. Sick of blaming myself for my ex dragging us through 3 years of court. Sick of blaming myself for this order. If I went into therapy with this man I'd have it even more entrenched in me when I'm trying to get out of it. Nothing is ever his fault. Even when I look back to those messages and those transcripts I see the way he talked to me was abusive to me and was gaslighting me and making me take the fall for his abuse. He tried to buy my son at one point when I met my partner. Another time he wanted 50/50 because I was on a dating site and didn't want to pay me money as he thought I'd use it on a date He used my son to say if he paid me back what he stole that I would be robbing off our son. This is the type of Sick person he really is. His ever changing accounts leaves me utterly confused Being in a relationship with him for 10.5 years I thought I was losing my mind. Everytime he stole off me it must have been my memory I must have spent it. I had to retrace my steps. Thats why I'm so careful with money now He'd call me insane make out that I'd made things up. I remember 2 clear incidents last year in proceedings I thought I was losing my mind. Thats why I went to @womensaid and had to be put back on #freedomprogramme again. I didn't realise because I thought if he was doing it my supposed #DomesticAbuse #solicitor would have picked up on it or #FamilyCourt #cafcass or #Judiciary but they didn't. They ignored it why? Because it was easier. While I was left blaming me and thinking I had lost my mind. I was even going to admit myself to hospital over it. Again this year I was going to admit myself to hospital over what he was doing as I thought I was going mad and blaming my mental health. When I spoke to womens aid I realised it was him. Not me. Him. No therapy or mediation could ever be done with someone like that #LegalSupport #LegalNews @familylaw @FamilyLawHour @familylawweek @Grant_FamilyLaw @IAmZoeFleetwood @82ladyK @theDAsolicitor @CommissionerDA @AlexChalkChelt @MoJGovUK @AnnieAGibbs @AnnaMcMorrin @Ruth_ITV @AlanBra15552677 @DuncanLewis @WomenSolicitors @lawsocgazette @wendyhopkins @CFLP_FamilyLaw @ndin_law @StoweFamilyLaw @LALYawards @LegalVerity @legal_eyed @SheraFamily @huyh_uk #legal500 @WeAreAdvocate @ResFamilyLaw @ChildFamJustice @DrEmmaKatz @BarnettAdrienne @drninaansary @ECCUSAKate @DrProudman @drrimahussein @nicolajanesharp @s_ayebkarlsson @coercivecontrol @OfficialMelB @UNSRVAW @VickiGodfrey8 @MelanieBridgen @CHydeFamilyLaw @Rachel_SUTDA @rachelhorman @PLBeckett7 @CrisMcCurley Please all #solicitors #barristers #judges don't do this to victims

We’re halfway through our current #freedomprogramme and delighted with feedback so far from these amazing women on the road to recovery. They each have a different story, but thanks their engagement in the group, they now all know they are not alone, and they’re not to blame.

Never underestimate the trauma that abuse can leave behind. It has short and long term impacts on us. I've done the #freedomprogramme with @womensaid twice. I found it more effective the second time the realisation in me and suppressed memories came. Maybe it's because I'd been

I did the #freedomprogramme with @womensaid on wednesday and broke down. Telling them what my ex had done to me when we were doing the sexual controller and how my solicitor minimised it and made me litigate as thats what the judge wanted and my ex wouldn't admit to anything

#FreedomProgramme is back #zerotolerance @Womens_Aid @WCI_irl @NWCI @CommunityFound @DublinRCC @RCNIreland @SAFEIreland @SVCCork Its FREE! 12 week rolling programme for any woman #LivingWithTheDominator

In Scotland the fantastic @Saje_Scotland couldn’t get a mere £100k to sustain their essential #FreedomProgramme for victims of Domestic Violence Just like #MensSheds the @ScotGovFM thought they were dispensable, while £ millions poured into organisations to promote Self ID

1. @FamilyHubs Why do you as a charity make if so hard to access the #freedomprogramme ? Your conditions 1. Get social worker to fill out forms 2. Must fully commit & be accountable 3. Must be out of the relationship for more then 4 months Wow do you want to help women or not?
