Domestic Abuse Victims
SAFEGUARDING
Our courses are delivered by fully DBS checked staff. Please contact us for our safeguarding policy.
We work 1 to 1 or in groups of 8 with domestic abuse victims. If you are out of the relationship, then we can complete a course entitled Recovery Tool kit.
A pre course questionnaire will be undertaken on a 1 to 1 basis to give you a little information on the course, to answer any questions you may have and to determine if you would like 1 to 1 session or in a small group of 6 to 8.
The sessions for Recovery Tool Kit are set out as follows:
Week 1
Introduction and general chat
Week 2
Understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES’s)
Week 3
Understanding Toxic Stress
Week 4
Resilience and an introduction to self esteem
Week 5
Nurturing and attachment
Week 6
Protective factors: social connections, having family and friends and neighbours who are supportive and willing to help and listen
Week 7
Toxic Stress and how it affects us
Week 8
The effects of trauma on children (Don’t worry if you don’t have children, this week can be adapted)
Week 9
How to interact positively with each other and manage emotions and communicate feelings.
Still in an abusive relationship? That’s ok, we can still work with you. We can talk about safety, target hardening and, should you want too, we can discuss how and when to leave.
MEN – We are aware that there are also male victims of domestic abuse. We have 2 male support workers who are qualified to meet up on a 1 to 1 basis. They can run all of the above courses so they can support you through the criminal Justice System. Both of our male employees are retired police officers that know how the system works, how to get non molestation orders etc.
DISABLED VICTIMS – We are very lucky that we have an employee that has Cerebral Palsy. They know how difficult it can be to come forward for support when you are already challenged/marginalised. They are as qualified as the rest of our staff but have that extra special personal touch.
We employ a BAME support worker who has specialised in Domestic Abuse, so if you would prefer to work with her then this is always an option.
As a company we undertake regular training on LGBTQ+ matters, so would like to think that we have somebody for every person’s preference.
We cover the Dorset area and am happy to come to your home, if it is safe to do so, or we have premises that we could meet at.
