Survive and Thrive Integrated Children’s Service providing Support for children who have experienced Domestic Abuse and their families
Domestic Abuse may have a long-term imp
act on children and young people and recent changes in the law recognise children who have witnessed Domestic Abuse are victims themselves. Survive & Thrive’s Integrated Children’s Service provides support for children (0-18), their parents, and sometimes other family members. Children and young people who have lived with Domestic Abuse may experience trauma that impacts daily life functioning. Symptoms of trauma may include:
• Anxiety
• difficulty managing emotions,
• anger and aggression
• low mood
• disturbed sleep and nightmares
• Appearing withdrawn
We work with children, young people, and their families to manage these trauma symptoms and help parents, family members, and professionals understand the impact of trauma and ways in which they can support. Where we feel that children are sufficiently stable and are ready to process their trauma, we will arrange sessions with our trauma therapist, who can further support children and young people through their journey of recovery.
