Hello

Train with us

We provide specialist training and practical tools to empower individuals and groups in communities, churches and the public sector to create safer spaces for women experiencing domestic and spiritual abuse.


With online and in-person training available, you can learn flexibly around your existing commitments. 

Tapping into lived experiences of survivors

Survivor-led Training

Led by Dionne Simpson, a survivor of extreme domestic abuse, spiritual abuse and a committed Christian, our training offers a rare insight into the often-overlooked abuse that can occur within faith settings. Learners will gain a deep understanding of the unique challenges victims face, including the difficulties in recognising and reporting abuse.


In collaboration with LIONESS Relaunch Academy, these specialist courses contain over 60 modules and are designed to enhance your knowledge and practice within the domestic abuse sector.


With dedicated courses for churches, faith communities, and public sector professionals, we make it easier than ever to build the skills needed to respond effectively to domestic abuse. Our expert-led training provides practical, faith-sensitive guidance to help create safer spaces for victims, survivors, and even those seeking accountability.

Online and In-Person Training

Our online courses are available to purchase as an individual or for staff, volunteer and community groups. 


With no time limit for accessing the content, you can work at your own pace working flexibly around your other commitments.
