The Own My Life course is an innovative, creative and educational 12 week course for women.
It supports women in regaining ownership of their lives when they have subjected to abuse or violence by partner.
This is done through short videos, structured discussions, group and individual activities and a comprehensive learning journal.
It uses multimedia content to explain complex concepts about trauma and abuse. It is easy to understand. We use video clips which evidence how popular culture reinforces or perpetuates sexism, rape culture, violence, misogyny, disrespect in relationships and abusive behaviour.
The Own My Story Journal provides women with space for reflective practice, and includes all the information provided throughout the course. This becomes an ongoing resource for women after the course has finished.
The course explores how women can regain ownership of their lives, including owning their mind, body, choices, relationships, world, feelings.

Being in a group with warrior women, supporting each other, creating friendships and being able to take back ownership of my story was amazing. Just a huge thank you for helping me own my life which I can also use to help my children too.
Thank you for making a difference to the suffering of women of domestic abuse. My brain was like scrambled eggs until I came to these courses. The power I feel now is amazing because I’m educated.
This is an amazing course and is truly helpful and has helped me to understand and come to terms with my feelings and emotions. Women like myself who have experienced abuse and trauma from relationships need this group, it is a support network and is truly helpful for our healing.
