You will need paper and a pen. The Orientation asks you to draw two circles, and every module adds to that drawing, so keep it somewhere you can find again. Every tool runs on a real situation from your own life this week, never a hypothetical.
If you moved, you chose to move. And if you chose it, you can choose differently.
If you are frightened of someone at home, or someone controls your money, your movements or your children, this programme can help you keep yourself, but it cannot get you out. Speak to the National Domestic Abuse Helpline (0808 2000 247, free, 24 hours) or, in immediate danger, call 999.
This programme is educational and not a substitute for therapy, medical care or specialist domestic abuse support.
