Moving on from an abusive relationship presents a huge challenge for surivors. Salford Foundation’s Indigo programme supports women (aged 18+) living in Salford who are victims/survivors of domestic abuse, who are no longer in the relationship and safe.
Female survivors are supported throughout an 8 week awareness raising training programme delivered in a group at Salford Foundation’s Jill Rogerson Centre. Referrals can be submitted via a professional or you can self refer.
The programme supports women in moving on from an abusive relationship by developing insight and understanding into their own experiences of domestic abuse. The complex mechanics involved in emotional and psychological abuse, manipulation, coercion and controlling behaviour is emphased. The course helps participants understand domestic abuse, build confidence, deal with triggers, and identify red flags in future relationships. Through group discussion, participants go through a process of validation by sharing their own personal experiences in a supportive and non-judgemental setting.
