Helping hands: facilitation programme

Helping Hands is a programme developed by Women’s Aid Northern Ireland for professionals working with children and young people. It addresses challenging issues around personal space, safety planning and awareness of acceptable and unacceptable behaviours, not only in others but also in themselves.

NB Please note that this is not a course in which participants will be taught therapeutic interventions for children who are experiencing or have experienced domestic abuse. The course is educational and it draws on the theoretical perspective of protective behaviours.
