The Freedom Programme
What is The Freedom programme?
The FREEDOM programme is for any woman who wishes to learn more about the reality of domestic violence and abuse.
It is a FREE 12-week rolling programme, which means that you can join at any point - the benefits are the same so long as you complete 12 weeks.
What are its aims?
- To help women understand the beliefs held by abusive men and in so doing, recognise which of these beliefs they have shared.
- To illustrate the effects of domestic violence on children
- To assist women to recognise potential future abusers, Mr Wrong or Mr Right
- To help women gain self-esteem and the confidence to improve the quality of their lives
- To introduce women to community resources such as Women's Aid, the Police Domestic Violence Unit, The Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre, local Colleges etc.

As a man, I would not recommend that women read this book.... I would recommend that EVERYONE read this book!
Buy this book - it is fantastic!
This thought-provoking book is worth far more than its weight in gold
Wow! I couldn't put it down, read it all in one sitting.
Blew my mind and passed it onto colleagues at work - had similar effect on them too.
An eye opener - saw my ex-husbands there, saw their types...
