Research shows that there are clear links between a woman’s experience of abuse and trauma and having problems with drugs and alcohol.
The majority of services have not been designed in response to the specific needs of a woman, especially one who has experienced trauma. We are here to change that, putting women first and understanding their journey and their needs so they can rebuild their lives as women and mothers. Our work is delivered across four main centres.
A child is taken into care every 15 minutes, with only 1 in 10 being reunited with their mother.
Our dedicated and expert team works with each mother to help her break her addiction for good and to be the best mother she can be.
Jasmine Mother’s Recovery takes referrals from across the UK and can accommodate up to 11 women and their children at any time. Each mother follows a strict therapeutic rehabilitation plan over an average 12 -24 week stay. Facilities include seven residential rooms, two family apartments, a therapy lodge and an Ofsted registered nursery for children to be looked after during therapy times.
‘Trevi is an amazing and magical place, where life really does begin.’

‘Sunflower helped me find the right road. Without the support of Sunflower, I can say hand on heart that I do not think I would be alive today.’
Daffodil Family Centre is our residential parenting assessment centre, offering 12 week placements. Daffodil provides quality assessments with purpose, placing the child at the centre of its work with a trauma informed approach.
Daffodil provides a safe and nurturing environment for families in order to ensure that each parent has a fair assessment of their parenting skills and capacity. The team works with a range of professionals to provide each family with individualised support, in line with their abilities, needs and background.
Daffodil’s ambition is that whatever the outcome of the parenting assessment, the experience of the family will be one of transparent working, respectful practice and collaboration.
‘Really impressed by Daffodil Family Centre as a service and the whole team. Daffodil was always quick to respond to a query and went above and beyond to help. You were empathetic and compassionate whilst always ensuring the child’s welfare was paramount.’
Our Blossom Women’s House is a safe, trauma-informed women-only accommodation based in the centre of Plymouth.
Blossom Women’s House is a place where women can find rest, peace and security and take positive steps in their journey of recovery from trauma and abuse.
Having a safe place to stay like Blossom Women’s House, is vital. Women have space to address their trauma and understand how it manifests so that they can move forward in life.
Without this safe space, women are trapped or sofa surfing in unsafe perpetrators’ homes, sometimes locked into a world of drugs and substance misuse, at a continuous and high risk of domestic and sexual violence.
