Other groups

We offer a range of other support groups for women at our centre. These currently include:

Mimosa group

A 20 week therapeutic programme for women who have experienced childhood sexual abuse. This structured recovery programme is designed to help women move away from feeling like a victim, address the impact that the abuse has had on their lives, help them gain the resilience they need to move forwards and provide opportunities to gain a peer-support network.

Bereavement group

An opportunity for women to come together during a period of bereavement, take part in some therapeutic activities and share their feelings. Whether those feelings involve sadness, pain, depression or anger, this group is designed to be a safe place of comfort.

Access other sources of help, information and resources around bereavement here.

Harmful practices

‘Harmful practices’ is a term used to describe things like forced marriage, honour-based violence (HBV) and female genital mutilation (FGM), all of which disproportionately affect women/ girls. Luton All Women's Centre's specialist harmful practices service provides educational measures to prevent such practices plus help for those affected in Luton and Bedfordshire.
Health and wellbeing

The importance of maintaining good physical health, mental health and general wellbeing cannot be over-emphasised. For the women we support at Luton All Women's Centre, such things aren't always easy. Our centre provides a wide range of services which aim to help vulnerable women in Luton with this area of their lives.
Counselling

Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, abuse, bereavement or any other distressing issue in your life, it can be easy to feel alone or that everything has moved beyond your point of control. Counselling provides the opportunity to talk with someone about how you’re feeling in a wholly supportive, confidential and non-judgemental environment. At Luton All Women’s Centre, professional counselling is an ongoing and vital part of the holistic support we offer to our clients.
Women's academy

Luton All Women's Centre has created the Women’s Academy to provide education, training and skills development activities specifically designed to help women who are escaping/recovering from abuse to move forward with their lives and improve their long-term employment prospects.
