Mental Health Self-Defence Workshops

Building mental health resilience is one of the key factors in maintaining mental well-being. However, when people experience particularly difficult situations, such as emotional harassment or abuse at home or in the workplace, it can be hard to stay resilient.

Emotional abuse is as destructive and damaging as physical abuse as it slowly chips away at a person’s self-worth and mental health. It primarily targets an individual’s emotions, self-esteem, and psychological state.

From an outside perspective, many individuals are familiar with many of the obvious signs of emotional abuse and manipulation. But when people are in an abusive situation, it is very easy to miss the subtle early signs that build up to a persistent undercurrent of abusive behaviour.

And when people find themselves in an emotionally abusive situation, it can be difficult to look for or ask for help.

If you have ever experienced emotional abuse, or wish to support someone who has or is experiencing emotional abuse right now, TWCF’s workshops are a safe space that will share essential information and tools to:

• recognise the signs of emotional abuse
• understand the impacts of emotional abuse
• develop strategies to face, manage, and/or leave emotionally abusive situations.
