Eyes Wide Open
This programme is designed to support women to identify abusive behaviours and the impact that these behaviours have on their lives.
It teaches women that abuse is intentional and ingrained in the belief system of the perpetrator. It explores the different tactics used and what the perpetrator intends to achieve from using these tactics. The programme looks at the values and beliefs of society, the perpetrator and women, it unpicks these views and supports women to challenge them.
Course start dates:
- Accrington – Monday 13th November
