Domestic Abuse Services

Supporting individuals to address unhealthy behaviours in intimate partner relationships.

The way you behave affects the people you love whether it’s a partner, ex-partner or your children. It may also be impacting you, even if you’re not fully aware of it.

Our behaviour change courses offer an opportunity to change your behaviour and develop relationships which are safe, loving and respectful.

You should never intentionally cause harm to your partner.

We deliver multiple programmes across the UK that challenge individuals to address unhealthy behaviours in relationships.

What are unhealthy behaviours

It’s normal to have disagreements and get into arguments with your partner from time to time. If you’re causing your partner physical or frequent emotional harm, it’s time to seek help.

An unhealthy behaviour is a direct action that intimidates your partner and makes them feel scared or anxious. It could be any of these:

Hitting, kicking, shouting them

Criticising
them

Emotional
abuse

Preventing them from seeing
friends or family

Financial
abuse

Unhealthy behaviours may be motivated by feelings that aren’t normal in a relationship, such as extreme jealousy and anger, we beleive that behaviour can change.

How we can help

We hold one-to-one sessions and peer support groups, where people motivate each other to change. Our facilitators offer positive challenge and support without making judgements about how you’ve treated your partner, or what motivated your behaviours.

We encourage story-sharing and cover topics such as trust, negotiation, sexual respect, self respect and child-centred parenting.

Programmes we currently offer are:

“My child came to me when they were sad last week instead of their Mum and it made me so happy, I do think they used to be a little bit scared of me.”

“I don’t ever feel desire to get physical anymore, I can nip things in the bud with positive self-talk before the anger brings that into my head”

“In the last two weeks we have had two arguments that before the programme would have led to police call-outs. Now we talk, he actually listens rather than gets defensive and these have been squashed within 5 minutes!”
