Women’s Aid Newry, Mourne, South Down and South Armagh was founded in
1983 in response to the urgent need to provide vital support and accommodation
to women & children affected by domestic violence in our
local community.
Support in the community
Practical and emotional support is provided to families affected by domestic
violence who choose to remain at home or in a community setting through a
floating support service. Support Worker can meet with you in your home or place
of your choice to offer you information, advice, support, or when in crisis.
Support can be also offered in attending court, solicitors, or when dealing with
other agencies. The aim of the service is to help those women with special and
complex needs, specific to their domestic violence situation, to
maintain and sustain their home through making informed choices about their
accommodation needs.
Children and young people
Individual or group work programmes are offered, which are needs-led and are
centrally focused on supporting children and young people. Our programmes aim
to build children and young people’s self esteem and confidence, and enable them
to participate in a group. Programmes also help children and young people to
identify their own personal support network. The emphasis is on learning through
fun activities and group discussion.
