Celebrating 100 Years of Soroptimism 1921-2021
Last year our chosen charity was ROTHACS – Rotherham Abuse Counselling Service – for which we raised an amazing £4165.
This year’s charity is:
CEASE
What is CEASE?
Based around the course creator’s personal experience of supporting her best friend through an abusive relationship which ended in tragedy, CEASE is a 4 session educational programme that aims to:
- Help young people recognise the subtle indications of an abusive relationship
- Have an understanding of the options available to them should they encounter or witness such behaviour
- Identify local sources of support and to access services
Create Empowerment And Self Efficacy
“ A survey showed that 40% of teenage girls would consider giving their boyfriend another chance if he hit them, and one third said that cheating justified the use of violence.”
In short:
To save lives
To challenge abusive views and behaviour
To question negative social norms in youth relationships and support access to those services
CEASE is delivered by REMEDI www.remedi.org
