Groups at Alana House

Alana House has a number of groups for service users to attend, if this has been agreed with their key worker.

The Alana House team works with a variety of other partnership-agencies to provide a diverse programme of activities, which are reviewed on a quarterly basis. 

Due to the frequent changes in restrictions, we may need to adapt the way we deliver some of our activities depending on government guidelines at the time.  

Groups are only available to women who have been referred to Alana House for support.

Sexual Violence Recovery Toolkit

Hope to Recovery

A six-week programme that can be delivered online or face-to-face, as a group or as a one-to-one programme.

Boundaries Parenting

This course is aimed at individuals who struggle with co-dependency, poor communication and unfulfilling relationships.
