BWA currently provide support to women aged 16+ experiencing/recovering from impact of domestic abuse. Support is provided to women staying in our safe accommodation and on an outreach basis either 1:1 or group sessions. Their groups sessions are a recognised domestic abuse programme, Own My Life.
BWA are planning to develop their youth work in the Scottish Borders. Their aim is to deliver prevention sessions to youths. The aim is to encourage thinking and increase knowledge and recognition of relationship abuse in young people. The sessions will be interactive and age appropriate for the youths attending.
