Find out what we learned through our ambitious pilot of tailored interventions supporting adult and child survivors of domestic abuse.
Engage: Core engagement pack
Activities, strategies and exercises to help perpetrators manage their behaviour
This pack is for practitioners working with those who use abuse. It contains activities, strategies and exercises to help perpetrators manage their behaviour. It covers how to:
- recognise and de-escalate anger
- develop self-awareness
- take responsibility for actions
- think about consequences.
The Engage programme was part of our Beacon interventions. It was designed to support couples or families who want to remain in a relationship, where it has been identified that the perpetrator of abuse is motivated to change. It was developed in partnership with MyCWA and behavioural psychologist Emily Alison.
