Youth Work

In conjunction with the Refuge Workers and Child Worker, our Youth Worker provides direct support to young people between the ages of 11 and 18 who have experienced domestic abuse. Through offering support, information and education, we aim to encourage an understanding of domestic abuse amongst young people, helping to prevent the occurrence of violence in future relationships and to challenge the attitudes that lead to an acceptance of violent behaviour.

The education pack, 'Hands Off!' is delivered in schools throughout Monmouthshire by our Youth Worker and it explores issues surrounding domestic abuse, stereotyping, equal opportunities human rights and responsibilities, attitudes, and assertiveness. If you are interested in this course being taught at your school, please call our Youth Worker during office hours on 01873 859011.
