Freedom Programme

The Freedom Programme is a vital 12-week initiative supporting young victims, perpetrators and those living in households affected by domestic abuse, helping to break the cycle of abuse, and empowering them to build safer, more positive futures.

We offer specialised support for young people aged 14 yrs-25 yrs through two tailored strands: one for victims and one for perpetrators, ensuring a holistic approach to ending the cycle of abuse.

For victims, we provide:

Freedom for Children (10 yrs-13 yrs) 12-week programme.

Freedom for Young People (14 yrs-18 yrs): 12-week programme.

Freedom for Women (14 yrs-24 yrs): 10–12-week programme.

These sessions help children and young people understand the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships, reduce the risk of further abuse or exploitation, and build confidence and self-esteem. By recognising harmful behaviours and developing self-worth, participants gain the tools to protect themselves in the future.

For perpetrators, we provide:

Harmful Behaviours for Males (ages 14 yrs-18 yrs, up to 24 yrs with SEND): Two sessions.

These two focussed group sessions are specifically for male perpetrators. They focus on recognising and challenging harmful behaviours. This program encourages positive change and accountability.

The Freedom Programme is open to all genders, including those in same-sex relationships, as we believe everyone deserves to experience safe and healthy connections.
