About Resolute
Resolute Women’s Support Services was founded in 2021 to provide a better service for women suffering domestic abuse and violence.
Our Founder
In 2017, after 10 years of domestic abuse, Deborah Jones fled from her former husband together with her 2 children. Four years later, having experienced a lack of support and gaps within a system meant to protect her, Deborah founded Resolute Women’s Support Services to help other women affected by domestic abuse and violence.
Our Vision
Our vision at Resolute Women’s Support Services is to create a society where women and children live free from the threat or reality of domestic abuse and all forms of violence. We aim to empower survivors to reach their full potential and to live lives of dignity, strength, and determination.
What We Offer

response to those in need, ensuring that no call or message goes

Introduction to Other Survivors
While some victims may be hesitant to
join traditional group therapy, Resolute offers opportunities to meet
others who understand their situation, fostering connections without the
pressure to share their story in a group setting.

Guidance and Advocacy For Survivors
We work alongside survivors as they navigate the criminal justice system, offering guidance and support to ensure they are treated with dignity and respect. Although we do not provide legal advice, we assist survivors in understanding the processes and help them make informed decisions about their cases.
Coordination With Other Services
We liaise with other professionals, such as stalking advocates, police, and counseling services, to take the pressure off the victim and ensure they receive the comprehensive support they need. This coordination of services helps streamline the process for survivors, reducing the burden on them during an already challenging time.
Campaigns and Public Awareness
We lead campaigns to raise public
awareness of domestic abuse and advocate for policy changes at the
local, national, and international levels. By sharing their stories, survivors help shape best practices within the criminal justice system and beyond, ensuring that their voices are heard and respected.
