About Women's Health Matters

Women's Health Matters is a dedicated organization based in Leeds, focused on supporting disadvantaged and marginalized women and girls to lead safe and healthy lives. Founded in 1987, the organization has evolved to provide a holistic, trauma-informed service that addresses the unique challenges faced by women who are socially, economically, or politically marginalized. Their mission is to empower women and girls by creating a nurturing environment where they can recover their confidence, explore their needs, regain control of their lives, and build secure family relationships. This commitment to a woman-centered approach sets Women's Health Matters apart in the realm of women's health services.

The organization prides itself on its values of being women-led, warm, brave, and empowering. By working collaboratively with women and their families, Women's Health Matters ensures that the services provided are responsive to the specific needs of the community. They foster a compassionate atmosphere that encourages women to share their experiences and seek support without fear of judgment. This unique approach not only helps women heal from trauma but also instills a sense of community and belonging among participants.

Women's Health Matters offers a diverse range of services tailored to meet the needs of women and girls, including the Bluebirds project for those recovering from domestic abuse or sexual assault, the Breathe Free course for women who have experienced domestic violence, and the Family Canvas art therapy sessions designed for women and their children. Additionally, they provide breastfeeding peer support, parenting courses, and community wellbeing projects like Being You Leeds. Each program is designed with the aim of improving mental health, emotional wellbeing, and overall quality of life for participants.

The organization serves approximately 1,500 women, their families, and girls each year, focusing on those most at risk, including individuals affected by domestic violence, sexual abuse, and complex needs. To get started, women can make a self-referral through the organization's website or contact them directly for support. Women's Health Matters is committed to ensuring that every woman and girl has access to the resources and support they need to thrive in their lives, making a significant impact in the Leeds community and beyond.
