Drop Ins & Survivor Friendly Networks

Survivor Friendly Networks

We are invested in supporting communities and individuals to set up and develop Survivor Friendly Groups, to create a network of sustainable groups across Lincolnshire enhancing support for survivors at a local level. Those who have experienced domestic abuse will be able to access safe empowering spaces for emotional and practical support, to increase connection with fellow survivors and build confidence, self-esteem and resilience.

Would you like to set up or be part of developing a survivor friendly group?

These survivor friendly groups are independently run rather than a service provided by the Outreach and Engagement team within LDASS.  Our role is to assist with the group start-up and development through a process of consultancy, training and support. 

If you are interested in setting up a survivor friendly group and being part of this network, please contact the OET team for further information.
