Women Whose Children Have Been Removed

Do you have 2 or more children who have been removed from your care? 

---

If so the PAUSE Derbyshire programme might be for you. 

PAUSE gives you:

• Space to take a fresh look at your life;
• Help to build your self-confidence;
• the opportunity to engage in fun, interactive group activities;
• Get support to help you take control of your future.

Women are supported by one worker over 18 months, meaning practitioner and client build a strong relationship over the duration of the programme. 

The programme fits around your goals – it’s your life, so you decide what is important.
