Up2U
Our Up2U: Creating Healthy Relationships programme is for individuals who recognise and accept they are using abusive and unhealthy behaviours within their intimate relationships and, are motivated to change these. The programme also offers a partner support service to ensure the programme is delivered safely.
Our Up2U: My Choice programme is for victims/survivors of domestic abuse who, through their own experiences of abuse, recognise and accept they have subsequently developed unhealthy behaviours/thinking styles/attitudes/coping techniques and want to learn skills to have healthier relationships.
Freedom Programme
The Freedom Programme is about abusive and controlling behaviour in relationships.
The philosophy of the programme is based on research that shows that in the majority of cases domestic abuse is committed by men against women. Each week looks at a different aspect of behaviour, looking at what the abuser says and how it is said, what the abuser does and why we believe them. It helps to identify the common tactics to gain power and control. The group works to look at the characteristics that can create both abusive and caring relationships.
The sessions are presented in a friendly but structured way, giving the opportunity for anyone to contribute if they wish to. The group sessions explore characteristics of abusive behaviour and supports women to develop ways of thinking and behaving to protect themselves and their children from harm.
