COMMUNITY
We know that
Domestic Violence/Abuse (DA) affects
everyone in the community, therefore:
We feel that
DV is Community Business
What we want to do about It
- Tell the community about the true nature of DA and how it affects us all
- Create a wider network of support for victims of DA and their families.
- Tell the community about how the behaviour of perpetrators comes from weakness rather than strength.
- Deliver community-based training on mentoring and DA issues.
- Advise family and friends of victims on how to give support.
The work we do
The Mentoring Project
Long-term one to one support for survivors of abuse and support for family and friends of victims who are also being affected by what is happening.
Community Training
Free locally based training to help community members respond better to DA and to gain useful skills for the future.
How volunteers can help
Among other things people can help by:
- Becoming mentors for The Mentoring Project.

The Jan Foundation would also welcome

donate any management expertise that
they might have.
