The Jenkins Project offers programmes to support people who have used harmful behaviours in their intimate relationships to change.
The programmes offered:
- The Second Step - a 24 week group programme for males (focusses on developing awareness and understanding of harmful/abusive behaviours and the reasons why they may be used, emotion management, respectful communication skills, empathy, understanding impacts of behaviour, parenting).
- Women's Group - 22 week group programme. Covers the same topics as The Second Step but is focussed on specific dynamics that could influence women using harmful behaviour.
- One to One intervention - This can be offered to those who may not be able to attend group sessions (e.g. if an interpreter is required, learning needs that require more support, specific mental/physical health issues, individuals in mutually abusive relationships, those in same sex relationships).
- Step Up Dads - 10 week parenting course (focusses on stages of development in childhood, child-centred parenting, how to rebuild relationships with children when there has been domestic abuse in the home)
- Foundations - 8 week awareness raising course (builds awareness and knowledge of abusive behaviours and also what makes a respectful/healthy relationship, introduces helpful tools and communication, considers impact of abusive behaviour and toxic masculinity).
