**About Us**
‘Kairos’ is an ancient Greek word meaning 'the right, critical, or opportune moment for the accomplishment of crucial action’. In Greek mythology, Kairos was the god of opportunity. We meet women where they are at, until the time is right for them to take action towards their goals. We provide options and create opportunities, supporting women to accomplish the change they want for their lives.
**Vision**:
A world where every woman matters, and all women live free from sexual exploitation.
**Mission**:
We empower women to increase their safety, stability, self-belief, and self-reliance, through the provision of emotional and practical support, advocacy, and awareness raising.
**Values**:
As a values-driven organisation, our work reflects our shared core values:
**Compassion-** We believe that women have the right to be respected and treated fairly. We act with humanity, listening with curiosity to come to an understanding of what is causing them difficulties or distress. We value them as unique individuals, hold space for them, and empathically seek to understand their priorities, needs, abilities, and aspirations.
**Empowerment**:
- We recognise that the women we support have a right to self-determination. Rather than ‘rescue’, we support women to develop self-belief and establish a sense of choice, control, and agency within their lives. We do not treat women as passive recipients of help and we maintain strong professional boundaries to ensure we facilitate independence.
**Justice**:
**Who We Support**:
**The Need We Address**:
The women face various barriers to accessing other services and typically, their needs are such that they benefit from a holistic, flexible, long term approach. When involved in multiple services at the same time, this can be overwhelming and particularly difficult for women to navigate.
**The Way We Work**:
We believe that every woman matters. Our work is women-centred, trauma-informed, and hopeful. Our support is holistic, relational, and collaborative. As an organisation, we are striving to become more reflective, outcomes focussed, and evidence based in our professional practice.
We’re there for women in crisis, supporting them to increase their safety, reduce harm and ensure basic needs are met. We take time to build trusting relationships; persistence and flexibility are key.
We also recognise the need for women to move beyond entrenched cycles of crisis and harm. We support them to believe in their ability to achieve their goals and empower them to take the necessary steps along the way. We journey alongside them as they increase their stability and self-reliance. We fully recognise that such a journey is unique to each individual woman, is never linear, and needs to be long term.
**Our Impact**:
Put simply, we empower women to change their lives. Women typically start with us when they are in crisis and find it difficult to envision life beyond their day to day (or perhaps even hour to hour) existence in ‘survival mode’. It takes time to build trust and it is understandable that women can cycle in and out of crisis several times at the beginning of and at times throughout their journey. Maintaining a period of stability is a big achievement in itself. This is often the opportune time for women to experience hope about their future and to set some longer-term goals for themselves.
Women report that with our support they feel safer and have developed greater self-belief. They’re more able to cope. Financial circumstances are better, and they are maintaining stable accommodation. Their family, peer, and intimate relationships have improved and they’ve built up positive support networks. They’ve broken free from the grip of perpetrators. Women tell us our support made all the difference in them addressing their substance use, being able to exit prostitution, or being able to keep their children in their care. Ultimately, we help women build fulfilled lives, free from violence, abuse, and exploitation.
**Our Services**:
**What We Offer**:
We provide a range of support, based at both our Women’s Hub in Coventry and in the community, including:
- Evening street-based outreach and drop-in
- Crisis intervention to address safety issues, reduce harm, and meet basic needs
- Support in response to domestic and/or sexual violence; make ‘Ugly Mug’ reports, access the Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC), ISVA/IDVA support, and/or to report directly to the police
- Support to access physical, mental, and sexual health services
- Support with benefits and financial management
- Access to free legal advice
- 1-2-1 practical and emotional support to achieve identified short and long term goals
- Multi-agency case coordination, liaison, and advocacy
- Support to engage with maternity services and children’s social care
- Support to navigate the criminal justice system and engage with the police, courts, probation, prison, and women’
