What support groups are out there for us?

[Positiveandlookingahead]

Hi all. I work full time so cannot really commit to the Freedom programme I wish I could. What can I do in the evenings or weekends? I want to be around people in the same situation as me but then I’m worried it might be triggering for me. I’ve been on the counselling waiting list for a month now I have another two months to wait! Please help xxxx

The Freedom course can be done online:

In terms of meeting other people in the same boat, I don’t know whether you might contact your local DV outreach service to ask for their advice?

Hi thanks. I’ve stopped reading the books but I’ll start again. I’ve also had my DV support worker get in touch which is great because my old one left. Thanks I really appreciate it x*x

Hi PL

I do the freedom program when I’m on holiday. Not ideal but it’s good to have the contact.

I was able to negotiate hours out of work to complete my therapy groups and courses. Of course I made back up the time elsewhere. You don’t have to tell them what it is but just say it was a support group recommended by your GP.

Morninh ladies thank you. I will do this 😊. I also have time booked off soon so Ill be seeing my DV lady which Im really lookinh forward to as I have only seen my lady once! Ive spoken to her on the phone. I haven’t got all the professional support around me that I need so Im trying to do that now. I don’t want this to beat me I want to beat it! X
