TDAS offers child-focused, one-to-one support for children and young people aged 5–18* who have been affected by domestic abuse or are currently experiencing abuse in their own relationships. Sessions are delivered in a safe space, typically at school or a neutral setting, over 6–8 sessions (with flexibility based on individual needs).

Our sessions are interactive, creative and trauma-informed, giving children a space to talk, process, and heal. Support is child led, adapted to the age and developmental needs of the child or young person and is delivered by trained Children and Young People’s Domestic Abuse Advisors.

*All primary age children are initially offered our R’Space group unless there are any barriers (such as additional needs) that may prevent them from engaging with this.

What might be covered?

  • Understanding what domestic abuse is
  • Exploring healthy vs. unhealthy relationships
  • Identifying and expressing emotions safely
  • Developing coping strategies for anger, anxiety and sadness
  • Completing personal safety plans
  • Building self-esteem and recognising strengths
  • Strengthening family and peer support networks
  • Exploring how abuse affects family dynamics, including separation or change of home
