About the event
An interactive module where attendees learn about Abianda our model of practice; values and services. We provide an introduction to Solution Focused Practice; a cornerstone of our approach to working with young women; explore and challenge the stereotypes and myths around young women and gangs; and facilitate a critical discussion of the term gang; address the risks young women face; and the barriers to them accessing support; share the ideal knowledge; skills and attitudes young women tell us they want professionals to have. Attendees will come away with enhanced understanding of how young women and girls are affected by gangs
Abianda is a social enterprise that works with young women affected by gangs, and the professionals that work with them. We offer one-to-one, group work and employment opportunities to gang-affected young women. And for professionals we offer training and support so they can work more confidently and effectively with gang-affected young women.
