We also have a first-of-its-kind Women\u2019s Centre inside HMP Eastwood Park. Services are trauma-informed, gender responsive, and provide holistic support for women and their families.<\/p>\n<p>Our strength-based and collaborative approach views women as human beings first \u2013 not just someone with needs and risks, but someone with strengths, interests, personal experiences and goals.<\/p>\n<p>Each of our clients has their own Keyworker who works with them to co-create a support plan to address their needs. This is achieved through one-to-one sessions, group work and access to specialist service.<\/p>\n<p>Our services are underpinned by a comprehensive support system and methodologies that include assertive outreach, women\u2019s centres, advocacy and support approaches, custody liaison and diversion, prison in-reach and residential treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the week our Women\u2019s Centres offer a full timetable of activities, including accredited educational courses, workshops, drop-ins and groups, which cover wellbeing, life skills and creative activities. Most of our centres also have onsite creche facilities, showers, washing machines, a garden and caf\u00e9, that are all available for clients to utilise.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7382a9c elementor-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"7382a9c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-003b172\" data-id=\"003b172\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a43af71 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a43af71\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nelsontrust.com\/womens-centres\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.nelsontrust.com\/womens-centres\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nelsontrust.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.nelsontrust.com\/<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1761247418021{margin-top: 50px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>As Nights Grow Darker: Using Gender Impact Assessments to Protect Female Employees in the Hotel Industry<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hospitalitynet.org\/opinion\/4129406.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.hospitalitynet.org\/opinion\/4129406.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1760442960935{margin-top: 10px !important;margin-right: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 10px !important;margin-left: 10px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.03) !important;*background-color: rgb(0,0,0) !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left\"><a href=\"tel:0808 200 247\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">0808 200 247<\/span> <\/a>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationaldahelpline.org.uk\/\">National Domestic Abuse Helpline (UK)<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1741781320351{margin-top: 60px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5>Do you feel unsafe in your own home?
