Drop Ins & Survivor Friendly Networks

Survivor Friendly Networks
These are a network of sustainable Survivor Friendly Groups across Lincolnshire enhancing support for those who have experienced domestic abuse. They are safe empowering spaces for emotional and practical support to increase connection with fellow survivors and build resilience.
Interested in accessing a survivor friendly group?
This is what survivors have said about the groups:
"I think these groups are brilliant. It's a safe space to talk and share. We are learning so much about ourselves and how to handle tough situations. I feel much more empowered to deal with what comes. We are able to be vulnerable but safe to say things that have been used to control and make us feel bad and labelled unstable. I can be completely honest and authentic without fear of judgement and feel we are all in the same boat. There is strength in numbers"
