Beyond our practical assistance, Their Voice is dedicated to offering a holistic approach to support.
As part of this commitment, we organise and conduct Empowerment Workshops specifically tailored for women residing in safe houses. These workshops aim to empower and uplift the safe house clients, providing them with valuable knowledge, tools and resources to enhance their overall well-being. Through these sessions, we seek to create an environment where healing, growth and self-care flourish, enabling each individual to embark on a journey of rejuvenation and empowerment.
Some of the topics covered during this 10-week empowerment course are:
• Nutrition
• Baby weaning (conducted by a paediatric dietitian)
• Child dental care (given by a qualified dentist)
• Baby first aid
• Improving wellbeing Reconnecting with the self
• Reconnecting with the self
Within the Empowerment Workshop, a special emphasis is placed on engaging in group activities. Group sessions offer a profound source of shared laughter and enjoyment, effectively providing a respite from the burdens of anxieties, stress and trauma that survivors can often carry.
Creative pursuits, such as crafting identity collages, painting and poetry, serve as therapeutic outlets for processing trauma. These expressive forms of art offer an alternative means of communication, allowing individuals to convey emotions and experiences that words alone may struggle to capture.
Our objective is to cultivate a renewed sense of hope, one that paints a vivid picture of the possibilities that lie ahead. Through these group activities, we not only offer moments of respite but also lay the foundation for a brighter future. These pursuits equip survivors with essential skills and tools, empowering them for life beyond the safehouse.
Our commitment extends beyond immediate assistance. We are invested in fostering resilience, fostering healing, and instilling a sense of capability and hope that transcends the challenges faced by those we serve.
Through our Empowerment Workshops, we create a space for growth, connection and transformation, nurturing the seeds of possibility for a life full of promise.
The following quotes are from participants in our Empowerment Workshops:
“I had many questions about my baby and food you helped me understand what I had to do.”
“I like to help my baby more you teach me much.”
“It helps me forget my stress and feel good about myself.”
“We laugh and joke more here – it’s more relaxed, like a family.”
