Women's Prevention Programme

Arch have recently introduced a Women's Prevention Programme to assist female perpertrators of abuse.

The goals of the programme are:

To increase the ability to recognise the abusive tactics used
To challenge the perpetrators views and behaviour
To change or modify behaviour by learning and developing new skills to help resolve issues in a non abusive way
To be able to identify non abusive behaviour

This program is not designed to help as part of any reconciliation; it is to hold the perpetrator accountable for their abusive/violent behaviour.

The goals of the programme are:

To understanding why you are violent /abusive
To take responsibility for your abusive behaviour
To learn that you are in control of your own behaviour and can choose not to be abusive
Learn how to notice when you are becoming abusive and how to STOP
To learn to negotiate and listen
Learn different non-abusive ways of dealing with challenges
To learn to build respectful relationships
To explore if past experiences have had an impact on how you behave now
