The course support's all genders who have been living in a controlling or abusive relationship with an intimate partner or family member and who are feeling isolated (both physically and emotionally), have low self esteem and struggling with setting boundaries. For some they may have lost hope in ever taking back the control of their life.
Face to face & Zoom group courses are split into men only, women only and LGBT+ can join which feels most appropriate. Or access the Rainbow Project with Intercom Trust.
By attending every week of this course participants will start to pull together an understanding of their past relationships and build and develop new skills to move on into a more positive future and relationships where they have more acceptable boundaries in place.
With Face To Face, any applicants that cannot make the commitment to attend the entire course, would be better waiting until they are in a position where they can do so, to ensure full benefit. We will always keep you on the waiting list for face to face unless you ask us to unsubscribe you to the course offers.
