service are women either at risk from an abusive partner or who have
suffered abuse at the hands of a partner in the past.
Our role is to provide a safe space for each woman and her children
and then to assist her in exploring options and making decisions which
will lead to a better life.
THE SERVICE OFFERING IS COMPOSED OF A NUMBER OF STRANDS:
REFUGE – Recently re-located to a purpose-built nine-bed refuge. The
refuge provides short-term emergency shelter to any woman who is at
risk, who is in danger and for whom no other place of safety can
immediately be found. The emphasis in refuge is on safety and allowing
each woman calm and time to consider her next steps.
OUTREACH – working with women who continue to live in the community
in their homes and who do not avail of refuge, whether by appointment
or drop-in. COPE Galway offer outreach provision in Galway City and at
various locations in Galway County, and most service users opt to
engage in this way.
CHILDREN’S SERVICE – this Domestic Abuse Service offers a
dedicated Children’s Service, working with mothers and children, to
manage the impact of abuse and to support in healing and the building
of resilience.
ACCOMPANIMENT – women using our Service often seek support in
attendance at court, engagement with legal aid or legal support,
engagement with other agencies, eg, Intreo, local housing authorities,
etc.
TRAINING & AWARENESS – we are committed to addressing the causes of
abuse within our community and to challenging the societal norms that
can appear to make abuse acceptable. This is done through our Training
& Awareness programme, providing training to statutory and voluntary
agencies as well as working with schools, colleges and community
partners.
RESEARCH AND INNOVATION – we are committed to understanding the
issue of domestic abuse and to developing preventative approaches as
well as initiatives that offer better responses to victims. We engage
actively with opportunities to grow our expertise through research and
innovation.
ADVOCACY – COPE Galway Domestic Abuse Service operates from a
rights-based approach, and espousing a principle of empowerment. Our
work involves advocating with and for each woman, to advance her own
