Last year we made a commitment
1/3 of all income from our facilitator training funds protection orders for women experiencing DVA
Safety shouldn’t depend on someone’s finances
Protection is a right, not a privilege
Every training session now helps protect a woman and her future.
The updated edition of Living With The Dominator is now complete!
We’re proud to continue providing an up-to-date, powerful resource to support understanding and awareness around domestic abuse.

Domestic abuse is ugly, and your programme doesn’t dress it up. I’ve rarely come across something that speaks so clearly and unapologetically — and that’s exactly how I work too
I really enjoyed the training thank you and I cannot wait to start a group! I thought the course was really well structured. It was difficult to put myself in position of a perpetrator, but it really helped me to understand how they are feeling and thinking from both sides.
I just want to say how invaluable this training will be within my role.
You have filled in gaps in my knowledge that I never even knew existed!
You will probably hear from me at some point to pick your brains further!
Thank you so much for the course Chris and Pat provided. It was insightful, and I feel really positive this will work well for a lot of people we support. I usually struggle with zoom conferences, but I found it really engaging so thank you.
Although it was three heavy days and the subject matter was incredibly emotive I found it enjoyable which feels like such an odd thing to say. I even found myself laughing a lot through out! What Pat and Chris have put together is no doubt life changing and no doubt lifesaving.
