Our approach and impact

Anawim brings people together from a range of communities and backgrounds to help women understand the impact of their trauma, and to begin the healing process by overcoming obstacles and learning how to move forward to a brighter future for themselves and their families. 

Not only do we provide a tailored package of support for women through a variety of interventions, but our caseworkers also understand how to deal with the complexities involved in helping women find work, improve their wellbeing, resolve health issues or access the services they need.

No matter how women find us, each is able to access the same level of support through one to one interventions, courses, counselling and opportunities.

How our services work

All of our women have multiple and complex needs which can be addressed through our wide variety of services and specialised caseworkers with extensive experience. 

On average women present with at least five needs at the point of referral, and often during the course of her Anawim journey she will disclose more needs as we build trust and create a safe space for her to share.

 All of our services overlap and we utilise all of our resources to ensure that each and every woman receives a package of support tailored to her specific needs. Anawim walks with each woman through her challenges, to overcome her barriers, whatever they may be. 

Whilst other organisations in Birmingham are offering support for women, Anawim’s offer is all in one location, based on Baroness Jean Corston’s model of a  ‘one-stop shop’ approach, reducing barriers to access and giving women the best chance of success.
