With a focus on improving health and wellbeing (Objective 2), our project will increase womens exposure to peer support groups and address mental and physical health. Women referred to our services will be assessed and offered support to address their needs. This is done through our holistic key working model. All women will initially attend a weekly Emotional Health and Wellbeing drop-in Group. This will enable women to build resilience and coping mechanisms enabling their progression to the formal and structured learning modules that best suit their individual needs. The project will enable women to build recovery capital, stabilise their chaotic behaviours and make plans to develop aspirations for learning, living and working. The Outcomes of our psychoeducational groups for all participants (up to 80 women) will be: - Women understand their needs and learn how to effectively address them. - Women build confidence from peer interaction - Demand on services further upstream (including interventions provided by the Criminal Justice System) are reduced - Women are able to address needs around domestic and sexual violence - Women learn coping skills, and identify self-harming behaviors This will be followed by the introduction of a Peer Mentoring Qualification for women who want to become involved with the service, mentor peers, and increase their employability. Up to 10 women will: - Gain a Peer Mentoring Qualification (Levels 1 & 2) - Facilitate a psychoeducational workshop - Co-facilitate a psychoeducational workshop - Mentor peers We currently offer Pattern Changing and Healing from Trauma from our Gloucester Womens Centre. This grant will enable us to add more Emotional Health and Wellbeing workshops to Gloucester Womens Centre and offer new outreach sessions across Gloucestershire.

This funding will build frontline resource capacity for a dedicated peer support coordinator to:-Deliver accredited Level 1 and Level 2 peer mentoring courses from our Womens Centre in Swindon and from our Womens only safe hubs in Wiltshire.Identify and support suitable women with lived experiences to become trained peer supportersProvide regular ongoing supervision to female peer supportersProvide ongoing training and support to peer supportersFemale peer-supporters will be trained to offer peer-support in a relational trauma-informed model recognising that women often need a gender-responsive peer-support programme. Once trained peer supporters will be actively encouraged and supported to set up peer support groups with a focus on mental health; where women experiencing multiple disadvantage can connect to other likeminded women, safely share their experiences and build support networks within their community. We recognise the value and benefits placed on the shared experience and identification that peer supporters can bring to their peers, the peer supporter themselves and the service as a whole. By providing training opportunities for women to facilitate peer support groups (and 121 peer support) women experiencing multiple disadvantage will have the opportunities to take on leadership roles, enhance training and employability options whist increasing levels of self-esteem, confidence, and positive feelings whilst often increasing their own ability to cope with mental health difficulties.

This grant will be used towards Art sessions run at the centre. The Art sessions help engage women in our services and offer them an opportunity to express themselves in an environment free of judgement and fear. The course will run for the majority of the calendar year (48 Weeks), and at the end of the year (April) we will hosts an exhibition where women are able to showcase their work. The art session will provide multimedia for expression. The women may choose themes to cater their creations to. These may include: Summer and winter, calm and storm, joy and sorrow, safety and fear, acceptance and rejection, or anger and irritation. Previously mediums have included clay, paint on canvas, pencil, ink, and oil pastel. The art sessions that have previously taken place have facilitated the following outcomes: • Taking risks, learning from mistakes and being open to different possibilities. • Increased ability to focus and maintain attention. • Developed practical and strategic thinking, while interacting with the material world. • Practice with problem solving, encouraging open-ended thinking. • Finding a safe way to express complex feelings • Increased ability to respond positively to own needs • Improved self-esteem, feeling better about themselves, discovering joy in their own self, often being surprised • Understanding others by “seeing” what they have expressed and created. Experiencing a sense of belonging • Increased motivation and ability to make a commitment attending something regularly • Ability to allow themselves to be present in the moment. Having “time out” from difficult life circumstances by doing something life affirming and positive. • Improved their communication skills by discussing ideas, giving each other feedback, assessing their own and others work.
