We are building a community of female Christian survivors of domestic abuse through an international online network, where bi-weekly blogs addressing recovery issues, members stories and book reviews are shared. We also run small groups for network members, such as Kintsugi Hope wellbeing groups and the Always Hopeful course. Members also have the opportunity to join our private Facebook support group.
We've also produced the Survivor's Handbook, which covers the practical, emotional and theological issues faced by so many women who have left abusive relationships. If you're a survivor, you can request a copy for free and we'll send you a physical or digital copy.
