Working with Couples in Housing First: Supporting Women Where Gender Based Violence Is Present or Suspected

Organised by FEANTSA WOMEN in collaboration with the Housing First Hub Europe, this webinar brought together Housing First practitioners, service providers, and experts from across Europe to explore effective approaches to supporting women in couples where violence against women is present or suspected. We focused on the unique challenges that can arise when working with couples in Housing First programmes, particularly where women may be experiencing coercive control, abuse, or other forms of gender-based violence.
