Resettlement means that when women and children leave refuge
or have to move home due to domestic violence they may be very
anxious and unsure of what lies ahead.
Foyle Women's Aid offers ongoing contact and support through
the service of a Resettlement Worker
Resettlement assistance may be needed in settling into an area
for example by helping to locate GP’s, schools, local
support services and so on. This worker offers support and information
in a range of ways and can help you feel safe and supported
during and after your move.
- Assistance with maintaining security and safety or your home
- Supporting you to understand the terms of the License/Tenancy
Agreement
- Help with finances, assistance claiming benefit, signposting
appropriate agencies
- Information and advocacy and liaison with agencies and assistance
in arranging appointments
- Support with developing your confidence and signposting training,
education and other support networks
- A point of contact for you as often as you'd like
- A running calendar of "Drop in" events at the
local outreach centre Pathways
- Information regarding events, support programmes and training
events
- Acting as a research point to find out information needs
you may have on a range of issues.
