The VOICE Programme
(Victims of Intimate Coercive Experience)
The VOICE programme stands for Victims of Intimate Coercive Experience and is a new and exciting programme, written in response to the feedback of victims and practitioners.
The programme consists of 10 weekly sessions and it supports victims to identify the broad spectrum of abusive behaviours, the process of dismantling that a victim goes through and the significant impact of such traumatic experiences. It offers relatable psychoeducation on trauma and normal stress responses, enabling victims to learn more about self-regulation and self-care.
It is available to those who are affected by the impact of an abusive partner, be it a current or past relationship.
The programme is interactive and draws on a variety of different learning styles using discussion, self-reflective exercises, visual media and active participation to generate learning for all participants.
This programme can be run successfully online or face to face, in groups or where needed in a one-to-one capacity.

Who’s In Charge Programme
(Child to Parent Violence)
Who’s in Charge? is a 9 week programme combining educational and therapeutic sessions for parents of children, who are verbally or physically abusive and beyond parental control. The programme works with parents to understand the complex nature of abuse.
The aim of the group is to reduce parental stress and guilt by providing a supportive environment and seeks to offer an opportunity for parents to change their own attitudes and behaviours. The group works towards empowering parents to develop ideas on improving family relationships and building strategies to promote the reduction of children’s violent and abusive behaviours.
This is achieved by the use of 8 structured sessions, which incorporate group exercises, discussion and handouts. A follow-up session is held after 2 months, where family situations are reviewed and progressed assessed.
