Testimonials

Just wanted to say I'm so pleased to have found this community. What beautiful souls you are. I really appreciated the programmes I have done through other domestic abuse organisations, but then felt alone with my new found knowledge in the world of surviving. Here, I know I can check in safely, ask questions, rant and have the space held for me. Thanks for all you do x

Karen

The techniques to help with emotions are really useful...this has been my biggest problem area. No one has helped with where to go or how to get help in these areas, so finding this has been gold.

Julie

The 'Tiger in the Room' session reminds me to bring awareness to whether there is really danger or not and I have learned about the choices of taking my power back from being triggered.

The SHIELD™ Programme

A Holistic Path to Healing After Domestic Abuse

The SHIELD™ Programme: Your Journey to Healing and Empowerment

Healing from abuse is a journey and you don’t have to do it alone.

The SHIELD™ Programme is a step-by-step guide designed to support you as you move from surviving to thriving.

Using evidence-based tools and compassionate guidance, this programme helps you understand, heal, and rebuild—at your own pace, in your own safe space.

The SHIELD™ Programme is built around four transformative phases:

Phase 1: Understanding Abuse Dynamics

Abuse often leaves us questioning our reality and doubting ourselves. In this phase, we shine a light on the hidden patterns and tactics of abuse so you can clearly see what has happened to you. By understanding the dynamics of control, gaslighting, and the cycle of abuse, you’ll begin to release self-blame and take the first step toward reclaiming your power.

Phase 2: Trauma Recovery

Trauma affects both your mind and body, leaving behind a lasting imprint. This phase focuses on helping you understand how trauma impacts your nervous system and emotional well-being. You’ll learn simple, effective tools to calm your body, release tension, and rebuild a sense of safety and balance. With this understanding, you’ll feel more grounded and in control.

Phase 3: Personal Empowerment

Abuse may have stolen your sense of self, but in this phase, you’ll reconnect with your inner strength and discover who you truly are. You’ll explore your attachment styles and beliefs, gently rewriting the old narratives that no longer serve you. This phase empowers you to set healthy boundaries, build self-confidence, and embrace the life you deserve.

Phase 4: Moving Forward

Now that you’ve laid a strong foundation, it’s time to create the future you want. This phase is all about looking ahead, setting goals, and making a plan to achieve them. Whether it’s pursuing a dream, building a healthy relationship, or finding peace within yourself, we’ll guide you in taking the steps to move forward with confidence and clarity.

At Women of Wisdom and Courage® every element of our branding reflects our mission to empower, heal and inspire. From our thoughtfully chosen online platform colours to our co-created logo, each detail symbolises the strength, resilience and transformation we aim to foster in women everywhere.

Our Logo: A Collective Vision of Empowerment

Our logo was created through collaboration with the women in our original online support community. To ensure it truly represented the heart of Women of Wisdom and Courage®, we invited them to share their thoughts and ideas during the design process.

The Process: Our graphic designer developed six initial concepts, each reflecting themes of healing, strength and support. After gathering feedback from our community, we worked together to merge two of the most popular designs into the final logo...

Why We Developed The SHIELD™ Programme
