Open The Box Programme

Open The Box is a 10-week recovery programme helping women to understand the abuse they have suffered and recover from the trauma. It looks at breaking the cycle of abuse by exploring what makes a relationship abusive. It increases confidence and self-esteem through knowledge and learning. The course was developed using a working group of clients and support workers to ensure all relevant topics were covered.

Open The Box is a free course to any woman who has been affected by an abusive relationship, and available to access after they have left an abusive partner. Women accessing the course must live in Norfolk.

What are its aims?

  • To help women identify and understand domestic abuse
  • To help women to understand the effects and impact on children
  • To enable women to spot the warning signs for future relationships
  • To help women gain self-esteem and the confidence to improve the quality of their lives
  • To give women the knowledge and tools to live a safer and happier life, free from abuse
  • To empower women to break the cycle of abuse

“Open The Box has changed my life. I’ve learnt that the abuse wasn’t my fault and I feel so much stronger, I recommend every woman does it!
