Drop Ins & Survivor Networks
Survivor Networks
We are invested in supporting communities and individuals to set up and develop Survivor Groups, with the aim of eventually having a network of sustainable survivor groups across Lincolnshire. This network will enhance support for survivors at a local level. Those who have experienced domestic abuse will be able to access a safe and empowering space 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 group?
These survivor groups are independently run rather than a service provided by the outreach and engagement team within LDASS. However, 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 group and being part of this network, please contact the OET team for further information.
