Striving for Change

Addressing early indications of unhealthy behaviour and supporting people to change.

Addressing early indications of unhealthy behaviour and supporting people to change.

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

Our approach to domestic abuse

At the moment we are only running this programme Manchester and Stockport. We accept referrals for both men and women from these two areas.

If you are living in other areas, and those ready for longer-term behaviour change work, please see our other programmes:

Men’s Behaviour Change

Women’s Behaviour Change

Individual Behaviour Change

These can be different for everyone – common examples include; extreme jealousy and taking this out on a partner, struggling to manage anger, controlling behaviours and intimidation.

You can learn more about behaviours here.

Support for young people

We always offer support to the children of participants on our programmes. This support helps them to process what they’ve experienced.
