Kinship Circle
Kinship Circle is a programme that supports people who have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV). Kinship is based on the idea that “kinship” is beyond biological ties. The Kinship Circle aims to help people experiencing harm to reconnect with self and others through affinity, kindness, and friendship with a community.
One of the common themes that comes up in all IPV stories is that of isolation. People who experience harm may be experiencing shame related to the failed relationship, perceived inability to protect self and/or children that one feels unable to share with friends and family about. They may feel that no one can understand what they are going through, and that no one will believe them. This is particularly pronounced among men, prevailing gender stereotypes that men are masculine and capable of defending themselves and their family can intensify the stigma when they experience harm.
The LCCS team started women's and men’s support circles to address the needs of those experiencing IPV. Through sharing their experiences, participants gained a deeper understanding of their situation and learnt from each other to cope with their situation within a community of support.
