Vi er et midlertidigt hjem. Et kvindekrisecenter for kvinder og børn, der har oplevet vold.

VI HAR TELEFONEN ÅBENT DØGNET RUNDT.

Vi lytter til dig. Sammen finder vi ud af, om et ophold hos os er en god løsning for dig. Vi kan give dig råd og vejledning til, hvad du kan gøre i din situation.

Vi kan hjælpe dig med juridisk bistand, hjælpe dig med at afklare din beskæftigelse, karriere eller udfordringer på jobbet. Vi kan hjælpe dig med samværsordninger eller andet, der kan veje tungt på dine nære relationer.
I dag havde vi besøg af Lone Smidt (A), Vibeke Ejlertsen (A) og Poul Erik Knudsen (A) til vores reception den 13. juni. Vi fremhævede livet på Ellestedet og vigtigheden af vidensdeling for at hjælpe særligt udsatte. Sammen kan vi nå langt 💥Ellestedet er et trygt krisecenter, der hjælper kvinder og børn med at genopbygge deres liv. Vi skaber trygge rammer og basale livsbetingelser som nærvær og sund kost, så kvinderne kan blive ressource-stærke. På @Ellestedet arbejder vi for at genopbygge kvindernes identitet, give dem troen på sig selv tilbage, lære sig selv at kende og respektere egne grænser. Det er en ære og hjertesag for os at støtte kvinderne på denne rejse.Besøget gav os mulighed for at diskutere udfordringer med kommuner, familieretssystemet og psykiatrien. Vi har oplevet problemer som lækage af kvindernes anonymitet – hvad er meningen? Afvisninger fra psykiatrien trods løfter til kvinderne – hvor er støtten? Vanskeligheder med at få børn overflyttet til nye kommuner, selvom mor har fundet modet og styrken til at få et job. Disse udfordringer gør det svært for kvinderne at nå deres mål, og for @Ellestedet at støtte dem effektivt, men vi kæmper videre.For at skabe de bedste forudsætninger for kvindernes ønsker, håb og drømme har vi på Ellestedet: frisør for øget selvtillid, massør for tryghed, Nada for beroligelse, psykolog for klarhed, kok for sund kost, fitness for endorfiner, natur for ro og eksistentialisme, og traumebehandling for forløsning af traumer.Besøget var en respektfuld anerkendelse af vores arbejde og de løsninger, vi tilbyder for at støtte kvinderne i deres rejse mod et liv fyldt med drømme og ambitioner. Vi håber at have belyst nogle af de udfordringer, vi som samfund bør løse. Vi håber vores gæster fik noget at tænke over. Der var koncentration, smil, gode snakke og engagement, der næsten trak en lille tåre. Ægte og autentisk – sådan kommer man længst. Tak for en fin dag 🌸Følg os for mere indsigt i vores arbejde og kvinderne på Ellestedet! #Ellestedet #StærkeKvinder #Vidensdeling #Fællesskab #EllestedKvindekriseCenter
I et voldeligt forhold er det ikke kun de fysiske skader, der forårsager den mest langvarige smerte. Økonomisk vold er en skjult form for overgreb, der kan have dybtgående og ødelæggende konsekvenser for dem, der udsættes for det. Men hvad er økonomisk vold, hvordan manifesterer det sig, og hvordan kan Ellestedet hjælpe dig, hvis du er fanget i et mønster af økonomisk kontrol og manipulation?
