Sanctuary for victims of domestic abuse:
Connecting for Wellness and Support
My
name is Jutheanne. As well as being one of ThinkTree’s course providers, I am
also a Mental Health and Welfare Officer for “Kanlungan”, a charity
dedicated to supporting Filipino and Southeast Asian migrant workers in the UK.
Kanlungan is a Tagalog word meaning “sanctuary”. Our
mission is to provide comprehensive assistance to victims of domestic abuse,
helping them rebuild their lives with dignity, hope, and resilience.
At Kanlungan, we recognize the profound impact
that domestic abuse can have on an individual’s mental and physical health. Our
goal is to offer holistic support that addresses not only the immediate safety
needs of our clients but also their long-term well-being. To this end, we are
reaching out to the compassionate and skilled members of Think Tree to join us
in this critical mission.
Kanlungan is committed to providing a safe space
for victims of domestic abuse, offering services such as emergency housing,
counselling, legal assistance, wellbeing and community support. Our team works
tirelessly to ensure that our clients receive the care and resources they need
to heal and thrive.
