Harmony Programme
Harmony Programme
Our society has been deeply traumatised by many years of violent conflict within our communities. Women have been the carers, the peace brokers, the family support and have themselves been victims. This “post conflict” period now brings its own challenges to address. These include developing our own power, increasing our low self esteem and raising our confidence. There have been social consequences which we need to address: drinking and drug abuse, domestic violence and street violence. It is in response to these needs, that Derry Well Women has developed our Harmony Programme: through funding received from the Community Relations Council, we are able to provide a hugely innovative range of services as part of this programme.
About the Programme
The Harmony Project provides a series of programmes or services designed to help women tackle “post conflict” issues and take the first vital steps towards reassessing and healing their lives and their communities. Through this process women can become more productive and involved in building healthy communities for us all to live in. Participants will have an opportunity to move from one programme to the next to gain knowledge and understanding. With sensitivity and care we invite women in our communities to join us in a safe place to set out on this much needed and courageous journey of healing. We owe it to ourselves and our children to move our lives into a place of peace and harmony.
