One to One support
We provide child focused 1-2-1 support to young people who have experienced domestic abuse, or who are experiencing intimate partner abuse.
We initially offer 6-8 tailored sessions covering a range of topics; more sessions can be offered if required.
We aim to meet children/young people in their school setting (where possible) to ensure they have a safe environment to discuss and explore topics covered.
Please note- Given our current waiting times, we want to ensure that children and young people can access support as quickly as possible. Therefore, at present all primary school children will initially be placed onto our Rspace Group waiting list, unless they have any additional needs or circumstances that would make it difficult for them to access a group. If this is the case, we would look at offering 1-2-1 support.
R-Space
R-Space is a 6 week programme offered to young people aged 5-11 for children/young people who have witnessed or experienced domestic abuse.
We hold a 5-7, and an 8-11 age group to include age appropriate content. The groups are held within various locations across Salford.
Family Support- Early Years/ Parent & Child
Early Years- for parents with children under 5.
