PROTECTED RESIDENCE

Sheltered housing is more than just a roof over your head. With the right support, time in sheltered housing can be a woman's key to a future free from violence. That is why we at Malmö Kvinnojour attach the greatest importance to providing all women and children with professional, personal and continuous support. All efforts are carried out by our own staff, who have extensive experience of working with victims of violence.

Secure apartments in security class 2

All Malmö Kvinnojours apartments are equipped with shell protection in the form of a security door and alarms with direct connection to the police and security companies. If necessary, there are also GPS alarms to borrow. Our sheltered housing is available in ordinary apartments that either a woman or family lives in alone, or that are shared with other residents. Staff are always available during office hours and can be reached via an emergency number during evenings and weekends.

Pick up at sheltered accommodation

For the safety of women and children, we offer pick-up when placed in sheltered housing. The collection is carried out by our experienced staff and is a safe alternative for families, where our support is always close at hand and safety comes first. In connection with collection, enrollment interviews are also conducted on site at your place.

The women and children who live at Malmö Kvinnojour get:

  • A personal curator contact
  • Regular support calls
  • Good chances for your own home - we work with several landlords and support with housing applicants
  • Support with planning for the future - an implementation plan is drawn up for all women
  • A safe home in security class 2
  • Accompaniment and support in contacts with authorities, healthcare, lawyers, police and the like
  • Free workout at the gym
  • Free massage treatments
  • Activities, excursions and social community according to need and interest

The violence ends here

The majority of women who live with us do not return to their perpetrators. A result of the personal support we give every woman. Our counselors all have a high level of competence in violence in close relationships and long experience of working in the social services.

We use standardized assessment methods such as FREDA and Patriark and also have training in, among other things, MI, solution-focused conversation methodology and Response Based Practice.

Can I take the dog with me?

65% of all victims of violence also have pets. The pet is often a reason why you do not leave or choose to return to your perpetrator. That is why pets are warmly welcomed to our sheltered accommodation. Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits and all other animals that can live in the apartment are welcome to stay with us.

Place for the kids

Children who have experienced domestic violence are harmed by it. Therefore, we invest especially in giving the children in sheltered housing security, the opportunity to process their experiences and the best possible conditions to be a child.

At Malmö Kvinnojour there is a child counselor with many years of experience in supporting children with trauma. All children are offered regular support calls according to Malmö Kvinnojour's child talk model, which has given good results. The conversation support does not only help the child here and there. We also know that it reduces the risks that the child himself ends up in violent relationships as an adult.

The children who live with us get:

  • Regular support conversations with a personal counselor contact (never the same counselor as the mother)
  • A safe living with plenty of space for play and socializing
  • Activities, excursions and social fellowship - we never miss a birthday or a holiday!
  • Good opportunities to quickly get into preschool or school, thanks to a good collaboration between Malmö Kvinnojour and the school administration
