Testimonials from recent Freedom Programme Facilitator Training by Clare Walker in Walsall



Testimonials from recent Freedom Programme Facilitator Training by Clare Walker in Walsall
This training expands your knowledge of domestic violence, its impact and the way we perceive the victim and dominator. It dispels myths and explains in a way that all who attend can understand. It also unpicks all the areas in a sensitive way. I will recommend it to everyone.
Child Intervention Targeted Worker

A very informative and thought provoking course that has highlighted the different aspects of the faces of the perpetrator, their thoughts and values, belief’s, where they originate from and how they are reinforced within society. I shall be sharing the book and contents with friends. The course itself was well presented with a friendly and professional approach

Excellent training, provides a good insight into the tactics used by the dominator. It helps us to make sense of the situation in order to support women in this unfortunate situation. It equips us with the tools to offer support to becoming a survivor

Everyone whether you’re a victim, survivor or neither, should attend the Freedom Programme as knowledge is power. If it’s not to support yourself you can support many throughout your work and personal life.

very empowering for anyone in an abusive relationship. It is not oppressive and not judgemental - it helps practice delivery of the sessions. The pre course reading and book are excellent. It is fun!
Intensive Support Worker

Its an open approach to giving attendees a voice and an opportunity to prevent isolation. It also has lots of times to laugh and feel united, meaning if life is hard and traumatic, there is light at the end of the tunnel and a voice. Excellent opportunity to be the person that can put it all in place.
