Relationships are complicated and have their ups and downs, but they should never be harmful – physically, or emotionally.

Our Striving for Change programme will help you develop your understanding of unhealthy and unsafe behaviour in relationships.

(Please note: we are currently delivering this programme in Manchester and Stockport, Greater Manchester only).

What happens on the programme?

The programme provides six one-to-one sessions with a trained practitioner, who will support you to reflect on your behaviour and motivate you to make changes where necessary.

We also offer six one-to-one sessions for every participant’s partner. These sessions will provide an opportunity for your partner to talk about how they’ve been affected and process their experiences and feelings in a safe space.

We look at things like:

• Managing risk
• Safety planning
• Strategies and exercises to explore and manage unhealthy behaviours
• Signposting to other support if needed

After the programme, you may then be invited to attend one of our longer-term behaviour change programmes, which will support you to continue the work you have started.

Either the Men’s Behaviour Change programme or the Women’s Behaviour Change programme
