Awareness
- Training - for organisations and individuals
- Broxtowe Domestic Violence Network - linking organisations working on these issues across the borough
We are able to give short awareness raising
sessions to any organisation that would like to find out about domestic
violence and Broxtowe Women’s Project. The sessions cover definitions
of domestic violence, the myths and realities, the physical and psychological
impact on women
and their children,
why women stay in and return to abusive relationships, sources of local
and national help and information about Broxtowe Women's Project. The sessions are
flexible and interactive and include discussions on the
various issues raised.
Broxtowe Domestic Violence Network was set up to provide a focus for the various work which goes on in the different organisations across the whole of the Broxtowe Borough, as well as a place where the voices of survivors can be heard and influence decisions.
Project Publicity The Project has leaflets outlining the service we offer and we also have A4 posters available. We also have a supply of discreet cards giving information on support services for women in the Broxtowe area. These information cards have proved very successful. To order our publicity please download our order form here. We have a range of resources and our leaflet is available in different formats including large print, CD, CD-Rom, Talking tape, braille, and Mandarin, Thai and Polish translations. For a sample or supply of any of our publicity please contact us on 01773 718555.
Raising Awareness in Schools We are currently undertaking awareness raising in schools with 'Choosing Health' funding. Raising awareness with children and young people is crucial to the future safety and well-being of women and children. For more information about this project please contact us on 01773 718555.
