We were delighted to work in partnership with local Charity ‘Family Support Network’ to deliver a 10-week Mummyshock group in Peacehaven just before Christmas.
Over the last few months, we have piloted some new Women’s Wellbeing Days in partnership with Rock Farm. Over 60 women attended the 4 days ad 100% of participants said they had benefitted from the day and it improved their felt sense of wellbeing.
Recently we have completed an evaluation of the work of Release Counselling & Therapy for Women, since its launch in January 2013, covering the first five years of the project. The infographics show the difference the project is making to the lives of women in Brighton & Hove and beyond.
