Barnardo's Domestic Abuse Pathway
Our pathway consists of 3 courses: Stronger Us, Recovery Toolkit, and You and Me, Mum, which aim to enable women to make sense of their relationships.
Each session will last approximately 2 hours, with crèche facilities available for under 5's.
The pathway is designed to:
- Promote the understanding of power and control
- Understand how your thoughts affect the way you feel.
- Increase your self-esteem.
- Find ways to protect ourselves and the ones we love.
- Build on our relationship with our children through effective communication.
- Focus on our hopes, our dreams, and our plans.
Stronger Us
Stronger Us is a 6-week course for women that will explain violent and abusive behaviour, relating it to real-life situations. Stronger us, as part of this pathway, is designed to support us in gaining self-esteem and the confidence to help us live a safe and happier life.
Recovery Toolkit
The Recovery Toolkit is a 12-week course for women that aims to provide us with all the knowledge we need to recover from the effects of living with domestic abuse.
It is a useful follow-on from Stronger Us.
Our own strengths, resources, and coping skills are reinforced, contributing to our own health and wellbeing on a long-term basis.
The course uses group exercises to promote positivity, relaxation, and calm anxiety. These methods then empower women to take more control of their lives by setting goals and identifying positive changes within themselves.
You and Me, Mum
You and Me Mom is a 10-week course for mothers that supports us in understanding how domestic abuse affects us and how it affects our children.
It will empower, support, and develop further understanding of our role as mothers in addressing the needs of our children and/or young people.
The course focuses on self-empowerment and group support. It doesn't work directly with children; it recognises the central role of mothers in the protection and positive development of children and young people.
Crèche
Barnardo's crèches provide a safe, stimulating, nurturing environment where children aged between 3 months and 4 years can learn, grow, and develop. Our crèche's implement a consistent routine that allows children to feel safe and relaxed, therefore enabling them to flourish and thrive socially, emotionally, and physically. Crèche workers plan activities using the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), taking into consideration each child's individual needs and stage of development.
Our crèche runs for two hours, and we ensure that parents and children remain on the same site, facilitated by a minimum of two qualified members of staff working within appropriate ratios.
