Beyond The Violence helps families establish safety, rebuild relationships and move forward with their lives after violence. This 8-week program is for non-offending parents and their children who have experienced family violence. The program is conducted with two groups running simultaneously – one for parents and one for children. Both groups offer parents and children the opportunity to share and learn ways to cope with particular behaviours in age-appropriate ways to encourage engagement.

The program helps parents to:

  • Understand the impacts of the past violence on themselves and their children
  • Gain strategies for building resilience and reshaping life pathways
  • Explore ways to rebuild or establish trust within the family
  • Take steps to establish or re-establish appropriate parent/child relationships
  • Develop strategies to handle children’s behaviours and emotions

The program helps children to:

  • Learn positive and supportive behaviours
  • Build confidence and recognise their strengths
  • Learn new ways of problem solving and managing uncomfortable emotions

Parents and children conclude each session by coming together for sharing time where they:

  • Find hope and set goals for the future
  • Rebuild trust within the family
  • Strengthen relationships
