The Girls' Network works with schools to match 14-19 year old girls with strong female professionals to act as a mentor to increase confidence, aspirations and self belief. Most girls are influenced by the people closest to them, if they do not see women in challenging and rewarding jobs in varied roles they are unable to have the self belief needed to aspire to these roles themselves. You can't be what you can't see! 

In light of a recent domestic homicide in Gateshead where cyber stalking and stalking & harassment were significant factors a number of ‘Cyber Stalking & Domestic Abuse’ & ‘Stalking & Harassment’ training sessions have been arranged. This training is aimed at professionals working with, or likely to come in to contact with victims/survivors of domestic abuse who live in Gateshead.

Find a way back from domestic abuse, feel better about yourself and get more out of life. Seven group sessions at the Linskill Centre for women exploring themes such as resilience, inner strength, self-belief, self-care, managing feelings and realistic optimism. There’s also three one-to-one coaching sessions and an away day at the end of the course for women and their children. Free crèche. Booking essential. If you would like to know more or book a place on the course contact Jill at Barnardo’s 0191 212 0237
