Personalised support with a child-centred approach, where children and young people have a voice.
Every child has their own support plan based on their individual needs, delivered over 6 to 8 weeks. This usually takes place in school to ensure a safe and impartial atmosphere. We work in partnership with statutory and non-statutory agencies when the need arises to ensure the safety and well-being of the children, young people and families we work with.
Our support
Our practitioners use a range of creative and age-appropriate interventions including talking, play, arts and crafts, and storytelling to engage with children and young people and support them to:
- Express their feelings, emotions and wishes and help them to make sense of what has happened.
- Learn how to keep themselves safe by completing age-appropriate safety planning.
- Learn how to manage angry feelings.
- Learn how to cope with worries.
- Develop positive coping strategies.
- Build self-esteem and self-worth.
- Build confidence and resilience.
- Understand what a healthy relationship should look like.
- Understand domestic abuse and its impact.
This support is for children and young people who have been exposed to domestic abuse between their parents / carers within the last 2 years. If the abuse is more historic than 2 years, we can explore signposting to our counselling services and other relevant organisations.
