About the freedom programme

The freedom programme is an awareness raising and empowerment programme for women about domestic abuse which explores the various characteristics of ‘The Dominator’ and the impact of domestic abuse, in particular on children.

See Mr Right and Mr Wrong (1021KB pdf)

The freedom programme is open to women who have children who would benefit from understanding the traits of men who are abusive to women, their beliefs and the impact domestic abuse can have on children.  The programme is run in a supportive group setting in Family Hubs across the borough.   

The programme runs for between 10-12 weeks with weekly 2 hour group sessions. Creche facilities are available for pre-school age children. It is also offered in Urdu and Punjabi with Rochdale Women’s Welfare.
