D.A.R.T (Domestive Abuse Recovering Together) is a 10 - week NSPCC programme for mothers and children. The programme is 2 hours per week in term time. During the weekly sessions, mothers and children participate in a range of activities designed to strengthen their relationship, promote communication about abuse and support one another through recovery. The abuser has to have left the family home, but can still have contact with the children for the mother to attend this group.
Gateway is an 8-week programme for women victims of domestic abuse. It is a safe and confidential group for 2 hours every week. Women can attend the group if they have left or are still in the relationship. It is a therapeutic programme that empowers women to recover from abuse. It is delivered by trained facilitators and focuses on the non-abusive partner's experiences whilst in an abusive and controlling relationship.
