The psychological support group at “Women’s Initiatives” is a safe, supportive space where we discuss:

• how to break repetitive destructive patterns and “drama” in relationships and life — and how to help others do the same,
• how to better understand your own and others’ feelings, boundaries and needs — and how to explain this to others,
• how to strengthen inner balance and stability,
• how to improve personal effectiveness without self-pressure or self-harm,
• how to live more freely, consciously, and fully.

This year, together with qualified psychologist Lyudmila Stroyanetskaya, we are running a series of sessions:

“Freedom from Drama: freedom, balance, personal effectiveness, and living a vivid, fulfilling life without violence.”

Period: first half of the year.

Frequency: twice a month.

Day & time: Thursdays, starting at 11:00.

Location: the office of the NPO CSPI “Women’s Initiatives”.

Format: in-person group meetings.

Participation is free. Places are limited. Submitting the form is an application to join; after reviewing it, we will contact you to confirm.

January 13, 2010 is the founding date of the Non-profit Partnership “Center for Social and Legal Innovations ‘Women’s Initiatives’”.

For all these 16 years, we have followed our mission: supporting the realisation of rights and addressing social issues affecting men, women and children who have survived human trafficking and domestic violence, as well as people at risk. Throughout this time, our team has approached its work not only with responsibility, but with genuine human care — knowing that the person who needs support is an ordinary person, just like each of us.

“You have the right to a life without fear, violence and cruel treatment” is not an empty phrase. We sincerely believe that together — with our partners, colleagues and friends — we can make the world a little better and improve the lives of those who need support.

Who can receive legal and psychological support and social case support in our organisation?

• Survivors of human trafficking and their family members;

• Survivors of domestic violence and their family members;

• Children without adult care and accompaniment;

• Migrants in difficult life circumstances;

• People in at-risk situations;

• People who use violence and want to change their behaviour.

In Tiraspol, “Women’s Initiatives” introduced a training programme for school professionals for the first time.

At the end of this year, we held two training sessions under the programme “Mindful Parenting” for school psychologists and social educators in the city. It was our first experience of this kind and an important step towards systematic, professional work with families in the school environment.

Participants worked through real cases and discussed communication with parents, sensitive parenting topics, boundaries, responsibility and support — not in theory, but through practice and professional reflection.

All specialists who completed the training received certificates and, along with them, new tools, confidence and a clearer understanding of how to build a mindful and caring dialogue with parents. Thank you to everyone who was part of this process. We believe programmes like this change not only approaches, but the educational environment as a whole. We plan to continue introducing and developing similar training programmes for education professionals in other cities and districts as well.
