We will not judge or force our opinions on you, but we will make sure that all women who come to us are given objective advice, are shown their options and can make informed choices, that they have space to make their own decisions and feel believed, never blamed, but accepted, validated and supported.

The service aims to enable and empower you to take back control of your life. Jewish Women's Aid will provide you with information, advice and support that is relevant to your own circumstances. Together, we will work to draw up a plan of support according to your specific needs and requirements. This may be in the form of:

• Telephone advice
• One to one meetings
• Support in referring and accessing other services (both within and outside of JWA)
• Support and assistance in applying for welfare benefits and housing options
• Assistance seeking legal advice, counselling, employment
• Practical support writing letters and making telephone calls
• Advocacy support; attending appointments with you e.g. DSS, solicitors, court etc….
• Someone to listen and offer you emotional support.
