Escaping Victimhood

Escaping Victimhood was founded in 2007 by criminal justice professionals, who saw that many victims of serious crimes (such as the murder of a child) had extensive and on-going needs that were not being met.

We deliver four day (plus a one day follow up day) residential workshops designed to enable participants to ‘understand the past and embrace the future’. We also inform those working with victims of serious crime about the impact of trauma in their lives.

Our programme was developed to address the issues and helps restore participants to a more 'normal' life. It is unique and is delivered by skilled and professional facilitators. They are overseen by a lead facilitator, who is a highly experienced victim liaison worker and ensures strong and safe leadership of the workshop. . The structure of the programme is psycho-educative and therapeutic (with a small t) in a generic rather than specific sense.
