Power to change: facilitation programme

How to set up and run support groups for victims and survivors of domestic violence

This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills required to set up and run support groups for survivors of domestic and sexual violence/abuse using the ‘Power to change’ manual.

The manual is the result of a collaboration between feminist activists and practitioners from five countries – Estonia, Portugal, Italy, UK and Hungary (who co-ordinated the project). Over two years we worked together through workshop sessions and email exchanges to develop this resource, drawing on our varied knowledge and experience of working with survivors of domestic and sexual violence.

Extensive consultation on the manual and its content was also carried out with specialist domestic abuse practitioners and with survivors.
