The Mental Wellbeing Club for Victims of Domestic Abuse and Coercive Control.
Free Introductory evening · Thursday, 19 November 2026 · 6–8 pm Irish time, Fermoy Community Youth Centre, Fermoy, Cork.
We hear about new laws and regulations around domestic abuse and coercive control, and then it’s another case, another woman, another headline that sounds just like the last one. It freezes my blood when I see it. I’ve been there myself. I know what it feels like to walk into your own home and check someone’s face before you decide whether it’s safe to speak. I know how hard it is to explain what’s happening when each example sounds so small on its own, but together they’re your whole life.
I’ve spent more than five years training and gaining qualifications so I could support women going through this. I’m opening the Mental Wellbeing Club, and I’d love you to join us for our first evening.
You’re welcome whether you’re still in the relationship, have left and are trying to make sense of what happened, or the person controlling you is a family member. You can come even if you’re still asking yourself, Is this abuse? Am I making too much of it?
On the 19th, we’ll talk about what coercive control looks like in everyday life. Having to explain what you spent at the shop. Seeing your friends less and less because it’s easier than dealing with what happens when you get home. Rehearsing a simple conversation in your head before you have it. We’ll also talk about the nervous system and why your stomach might still drop at the sound of a key in the door, even years after you’ve left.
I’ll explain how the club will work and what support you can expect. If you have a question you’ve been carrying around for a long time, you’re welcome to ask it. If all you want to do that evening is sit and listen, I’d be just as glad to see you. Your story is yours to share if and when you want to.
I’m Sol Smith, CEO of Phoenix Sanctuary and Partner of The Mental Wellbeing Company, a Certified Trauma-Informed Domestic Abuse and Coercive Control Practitioner, Certified Trauma-Informed Narcissistic Abuse Coach, Trauma-Informed Somatic Nervous System Coach and Clinical Hypnotherapist and Clinical Trauma Practitioner.
Registration is required. If it’s safe for you to message me privately, just send “Club details” and I’ll tell you how to register.
Registration details are private.
Come as you are!
And most important remember YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
