Tailored, individual support for the partners and ex-partners of people on our programmes.
If your partner or ex-partner is on one of our programmes, you may be worried about the impact on you. Based on your previous experience of your partner’s behaviour, you may also have concerns that our work might make things worse.
When we deliver our programmes for perpetrators, we always provide a Partner Support Service. Our team will work alongside you in a safe, caring, and sensitive way to understand your experiences and listen to what you need.
The support we provide for you will work in tandem with the programme your partner or ex-partner is on. This means our workers will be closely coordinated and will communicate regularly about risk to ensure that nothing we do jeapordises your safety.
Once your partner or ex-partner joins one of our programmes, we will get in touch to tell you.
We will offer you one-to-one support with a professional support worker for the time that your partner or ex-partner is on the programme and for up to six months after.
We will also offer support to any children involved, which you can learn more about here.
This support will always be offered, but it entirely up to you if you choose to use our services.
Experiencing domestic abuse can affect people in different ways. Everyone’s situation is unique and because of this, our service is person-led, which means we work alongside you based on how you are feeling and what you would like support with.
This service can help you to process what you’ve been through, put yourself first and when you’re ready, start to move on. We will update you on the programme that your partner or ex-partner is on and answer any questions you have about this.
We can also help with both emotional and practical things like:
I am in a different place than before. I am in a better place and a safe place as are, most importantly, my children. I will always remember your kindness and patience.Cassie - partner of programme participant
