Womankind helps women to improve their mental health and wellbeing, enabling them to have a better quality of life.

Womankind provides a helpline offering support to women in distress which received over 7,000 calls last year. Our face-to-face services for women with mental health problems include counselling, outreach therapy, group therapy, and a befriending service. The recent press stories of sexual abuse have prompted more women to ask for our help - almost half of the callers to our helpline have suffered sexual abuse/ assault, rape or domestic abuse. We also provide specialist trauma counselling for women who have been trafficked and refugees or asylum seekers from war torn countries who have experienced violence, abuse and exploitation. The need for our services has never been greater.
