Service Description: | DAWFA is our domestic abuse whole family approach programme. Through this programme we directly support adult and child victims of domestic abuse, and where it is safe to do so, we work collaboratively with specialist agencies to challenge and help change the behaviours of those who’ve caused harm in the family.
We understand that the needs of each family member are unique but inter-dependent and believe that helping families to develop the skills to reduce conflict, build resilience and coping mechanisms can reduce the likelihood of negative outcomes for children.
Referrals can be made to the service for children and young people who are between the ages of 10 and 18. Children and young people are supported by a specialist children’s worker whilst a domestic abuse practitioner provides expert advice and support for the non-abusive parent. |
