The Freedom Programme provides online and in-person courses for anyone who wants to change their abusive behaviour.
The programme was primarily designed for women as victims of domestic violence, but the intensive two day course, is also suitable for men, whether abusive and wishing to change their attitudes and behaviour or whether victims of same sex domestic abuse themselves.
The freedom Programme examines the roles played by attitudes and beliefs on the actions of abusive men and the responses of victims and survivors. The aim is to help them to make sense of and understand what has happened to them, instead of the whole experience just feeling like a horrible mess. The freedom programme also describes in detail how children are affected by being exposed to this kind of abuse and very importantly how their lives are improved when the abuse is removed.
The programme usually lasts for 11 or 12 weeks and is free. It provided by hundreds of agencies across the UK. Some of them are rolling so women can join at any time but this varies according to local needs.
