Reconnect Recovery for Children and Young People
Helping Young People Recover from Domestic Abuse
Domestic abuse has long-lasting effects on children and young people (CYP), impacting their emotional well-being, self-esteem, and ability to form healthy relationships. The Reconnect Domestic Abuse Recovery Programme is designed to provide essential support for children and young people aged 8-18 years who have experienced or witnessed domestic abuse. Through a structured, needs-led approach, the programme helps young people rebuild their confidence, resilience, and emotional well-being.
