Support for children and young people (under 18s)
Children and young people are affected by domestic abuse too. That’s why we recognise children as victims in their own right, and provide support tailored to their age, needs and experiences.
We offer one-to-one support for children and young people, helping them:
- understand their experiences
- feel safer
- build confidence
- develop healthy coping strategies
- and recover from the impact of domestic abuse.
Children and young people may also be able to take part in group recovery programmes, including WeMatter, which helps them explore their feelings, build resilience and connect with others who have had similar experiences.
Our aim is simple: to help children and young people feel safe, heard and supported.
