About Phoenix
Phoenix Group Work
Phoenix is a ten week psycho-educational programme that explores how to stay safe in and out of abusive relationships, the tactics that abusers use and the effect that abuse has had on us as individuals.
It is an emotional, but positive, empowering and social experience that helps people move past abuse to live healthier happier lives.
Who is Phoenix For?
Phoenix is for anyone that has experienced domestic abuse - whether you are in the relationship now, or are dealing with the effects after leaving.
Domestic abuse is experienced in many relationships - it can be from an intimate partner, a child or grandchild, another family member or from someone else you have a close or intimate relationship with, i.e. a carer. In Phoenix we look at how to stay safe as well as the tactics that are used to gain power and control in relationships.

Why do groups work?
Domestic abuse is a social problem and must be dealt with accordingly. When working with the issues, it is important to deal with the many social issues surrounding abuse. Group work fosters such a social approach. It is a safe space for personal bonding that enables people to talk about what is often felt to be an unspeakable experience: it gives a public and political status to an experience that has previously been lived as personal.
