The VOICE Programme is a twelve-week domestic abuse programme for adults addressing domestic abuse and violence, coercive control and the behaviours that create the dynamic of intimate partner relationship abuse. With a part-knowledge based and part-therapeutic approach the programme supports victims to identify the broad spectrum of abusive behaviours, the process of dismantling that a victim goes through and the significant impact of such traumatic experiences.  It is for all victims inclusively, however you identify yourself.

The main aims of the programme are:

• Identification – to deepen understanding coercive control and domestic abuse.
• Understanding – to explore the context of abusive behaviour both in situ and post separation.
• Awareness – improve knowledge and understanding of the impact of trauma, stress responses and the dynamics of abuse.
• Skill building – learn about dysregulation, how to self-regulate, develop coping strategies to navigate your own experiences safely.
• Empowerment – develop understanding and practice of self-care through a safe and supportive environment.

The programme is interactive and draws on a variety of different learning styles using discussion, self-reflective exercises, visual media and active participation to generate learning for all participants in a supportive, regulated and trauma informed framework.

This programme can be run successfully online or face to face, in groups or in a one-to-one capacity.

The programme has been developed mindfully by professionals with three decades of experience delivering training in the domestic abuse arena. Designed to meet the need for improved understanding, sharing of current protocol and legislation, and to give practitioners the best chance of supporting the victims with whom they work in a supportive and regulated way using a trauma-informed framework and approach.
