Children living with domestic abuse often require comprehensive support, including reassurance that the abuse is not their fault. They may face harm or bullying and need assistance to cope with these challenges as well.
Children living with domestic abuse
How we can help:
We provide comprehensive support to the children of our clients, offering services and activities that foster healing, stability, and emotional well-being during challenging times.
Children and Young Person's Therapy Service
Our Children’s and Young Person’s Therapy Service is for 4 to 18-year-olds who have lived with domestic abuse, but don’t currently live with the perpetrator. It aims to help them process their emotions and experiences, and move on with their lives in a positive way.
Our qualified Children’s Therapists work using a child-led approach, tailoring the sessions to the specific age and needs of each young person.
The therapy is for one or two terms, either in the therapeutic rooms at our office, or at the child’s school.
Parental Guidance
Parenting is difficult at the best of times. When mothers are trying to simultaneously provide love and stability for their children, whilst trying to deal with the effects on herself of the abuse, it can be really challenging.
Many clients feel that their parenting has been undermined during the abuse, and their confidence as parents has taken a huge knock. They may also be struggling with guilt that the child is now living without their father after separating from the perpetrator.
Our Children’s Therapists provide parenting support to help women strengthen and improve their confidence and self-esteem as mothers, and help their relationship with their children.
Respite Activities
We organise much-needed outings, parties, and Chanukah gifts for our clients’ children to help raise their spirits as they go through a difficult time, as well as offering some respite to our clients.
Help us offer this support to our clients by donating to bring that extra bit of happiness into their children’s lives.
