Domestic Violence Intervention Project

Description:

Domestic Violence Intervention Project - a division of Richmond Fellowship

The Young People’s Service at the Domestic Violence Intervention Project (DVIP), a division of Richmond Fellowship, incorporates a whole family model to address young people who use abuse or aggression towards family members or intimate partners. The primary aim is to increase the safety of families and support young people to maintain positive relationships. The service consists of two separate but integrated services:

  • The young person programme, which works directly with young people between 11-18 years old (and up to 25 where young people have additional needs) who are using violence/abuse towards their family or intimate partner
  • A support service consisting of a combination of 1:1 sessions for siblings and/or intimate partners, and a structured parents group

Sessions take place face to face in school or community centers, but can also take place remotely as needed. They accept referrals from all professionals and families. Following referral, they will carry out a suitability assessment with the young person to assess their motivation to engage with the programme, as well as assess any family members or partners involved. After that, a total of 10 face-to-face sessions is offered. A consent form needs to be signed by the parent/carer before work can start with young people.
