Our specialised staff work to offer free, confidential, and non-judgmental emotional and practical support.

TRAINING AND NETWORK

Anu Wicklow recognises that to minimise, reduce the number of people experiencing domestic abuse, we must educate and inform young people of the signs of an abusive relationship. We provide specialist workshops to Secondary Schools and Youthreach.

We also provide specialist training to statutory groups, non-statutory groups, family resource centres, and women’s groups. All training provided by us is tailored to meet the identified needs of those requesting the training. Our prevention work involves awareness-raising, building relationships, promoting understanding of domestic abuse, and the need for interagency work to ensure all our clients are given the appropriate information and pathways to specialised support.

Testimonial

When people ask me about my job and the work that we do, I nearly always get the
same response, “why didn’t she just leave?” or “that must be a terrible job”. My answer
to that is “I am privilege to work with the women that I work with.” To support women
from start to end on their road to freedom is one that I never take for granted.
We understand how hard it is to “just leave”, we understand the tactics abusers use to
make women stay, we understand the fear, we understand that the scariest decision
any women can make is to leave, and we understand the courage and strength it takes
to take that first step and reach out for help or support.

To watch women grow in confidence, come to understand that the abuse is not her fault
and to see them smile again is something I always cherish. One of our main goals is to
break down as many barriers as possible for women who are experiencing Domestic
Abuse. No woman should ever have a barrier when seeking safety and freedom from
Domestic Abuse.

The women we work with are survivors, not victims, they are empowered and supported
to make the decisions about their lives and how they would like to live.
I would encourage any women needing support to make the call and reach out, our
kettle is always on and someone is always available for a chat, sometimes that all you
might need. To talk, be listened to, believed and understood.
