The Youth Respect Team are able to offer support and guidance to young people across the Blaenau Gwent Area who are struggling with their own behaviours within relationships. This is available for those aged 11-18 years.
Healthy Relationship Work
Young people concerned about their behaviours and responses within their intimate relationships can have support from our Youth Respect Team. Once referred, each young person is assigned a dedicated key worker who will work with them on a 1-2-1 basis.
We offer a strengths based, solution focused behaviour change programme with 8-10 sessions. The programme aims to promote understanding, encourage positive communication, and support young people in developing healthier and safer relationship behaviours.
Child and Adolescent to Parent Violence and Abuse
Child/Adolescent to Parent violence and abuse (CAPVA) is one of the most hidden, misunderstood and stigmatised forms of family abuse. Phoenix DAS is a leading organisation in Wales, proactively responding to this social problem.
The programme incorporates safety planning, risk assessment, de-escalation techniques, exploring power, respectful communication skills, responsibility and restorative practice. Young people are assigned individual support workers to guide them through the programme. Joint appointments with parents/carers may be completed at intervals if it is deemed appropriate to do so.
Referrals can be made via the online form or call 01495 291202 and ask to speak to the Child & Young Person Team Leader or the Victim & Family Senior Manager
