Drayton Park Women’s Crisis House supports White Ribbon Day - End voilence against women.

International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
 
The figures on domestic violence are truly shocking and each and every person in the United Kingdom, but especially men- who are overwhelmingly the perpetrators of this horrible crime – must work together to stop it.

  • A woman is killed every 72 hours in England and Wales by a current or former partner.
  • A quarter of women will experience domestic violence in their lifetime, and one in 12 suffer domestic violence in any given year.
  • Is the single most quoted reason for becoming homeless (Shelter, 2002)
  • Approximately 400 people commit suicide each year who have attended hospital for domestic abuse injuries in the previous six months.
200 of these attend the hospital on the day they go on to commit suicide.
 
Every act of violence is wrong and everyone, whether male or female, has the right to a life free of violence.
 
We all want a safer society for our daughters, sisters and partners and so we are calling on all men to visit the White Ribbon Campaign website and making a pledge to end violence.  If you someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please call one of the following help lines:

Drayton Park Women’s Crisis House Celebrates
21 years
​  coming of age 
 
Drayton Park Women’s Crisis House celebrated their 21st Anniversary on 9 December 2016. Celebrations included performance from Music in Hospitals, poetry, presentations, songs and delicious food.
 
Drayton Park Women’s Crisis House supports women in crisis at their residential setting. When women are safe to return home, they are referred to other Camden and Islington services, including community services such as the Stress Project’s therapy program and our free Mindfulness and Pilates classes.
 
The Stress Project’s Outreach Team provides complementary therapies at Drayton Park Women’s Crisis House every week. Many women said that receiving therapies is an important part of their recovery.

Stress Project Attends Arsenal Football Team's Training Event

8/12/2016

1 Comment

 
The Stress Project was delighted to be invited to the Arsenal football team's training event on 5th December.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Per Mertesacker, Arsenal's captain, who joined our Yoga class on Monday at their training ground. Per told us that he practises Yoga and it has really helped his recovery from a knee injury. In fact, he has introduced Yoga to the Arsenal team and says that many of the players now participate.

We had time to talk about mental health and Per's particular interest in the work of the Stress Project. We discussed how footballers may experience anxiety, stress and performance stress.

​We explained that some therapies such as Mindfulness and Yoga can be effective in reducing symptoms of stress and can help manage mental health problems.

You don't have to be a professional footballer to join our weekly Mindfulness Drop-in sessions and Yoga classes - all are welcome.

Stress Project attends Arsenal's Inclusion Day

The Stress Project offered therapies and Pilates sessions at the Arsenal Football Club's Inclusion Day for people with disabilities and mental heath issues. It was a great day out for local disability and mental health groups, whose members participated in health and well-being activities. 

It is wonderful to be part of the amazing work that Arsenal Football Club does in the community to help disadvantaged groups, and we are very pleased that the club is backing mental health programmes. It is so important that football is reaching out and playing a huge part in raising awareness and reducing stigma and discrimination around mental health.

The Arsenal Foundation Gunners Fund is supporting the Stress Project's work in the community and funding our Pilates class, held at the Old Fire Station, for people with anxiety, depression and stress related illnesses.
