STAR Recovery Programme

What is the Star Recovery Programme?

The Star Recovery Programme is our new 11-week programme for LGBTIQ+ survivors of domestic abuse, which runs on Thursday mornings at the Outside Project LGBTIQ+ Centre. The programme covers a range of essential skills and knowledge building to help survivors gain a greater perspective, control and independence. Survivors joining the group are encouraged to join for the full 11-week programme leading those taking part through various aspects of trauma processing and rebuilding self-worth.

Who can come?
Star Recovery Programme is reserved for recent survivors who want to actively process their experiences and begin working towards recovery. We define 'recent' survivors as those who have experienced domestic abuse within the last 12 months or those who are still being affected by their experience(s) of domestic abuse in day-to-day life. Please be aware that the Recovery Programme is not a drop-in service, please see our referral form below.

When and where?

This programme runs in 11-week cycles from The Outside Project LGBTIQ+ Centre (full address at end of page) on Thursday mornings, between 10:30 - 12:30.

How do I join the next cycle?

This programme is only open to LGBTIQ+ survivors who have been referred, either through our self-referral form or by another organisation. If you think you or someone you are supporting are suitable for the service, please fill out our self-referral form and we will get back to you.
