Bursting the Bubble

This accessible training pack aims to help young women clarify the boundaries between abusive and loving behaviour.

There are many training resources that promote self-esteem and emotional understanding for those who have had experienced domestic abuse, so what stood out for me in Bursting the Bubble? First was the £20 price for voluntary organisations, which ensures that even small, under-funded projects are able to afford this useful resource.

Second is the layout. There is an array of bite-sized chunks designed to promote self-awareness no matter what an individual's starting point. It is also multi-functional, easy to dip into or use as a complete programme. The exercises are developed to stimulate discussion and thought in a way that engages the participants without their personal experiences being put under the spotlight. This is a wise way to engage young people without them feeling they are being constantly tested and judged.
