Brathay Trust - DART programme

Domestic Abuse Recovering Together (DART) is a programme that helps mums and their children (aged 7-14) strengthen their relationship once they are no longer living with domestic abuse.

Over the 10-week programme, mums and children can explore their issues within a safe and friendly environment, promoting openness and honesty.The programme is designed for one mum and one child per family. But if you have more than one child, you might be referred to the programme more than once.

To find out more about this programme and if it's right for you please talk to a professional supporting you to start with. You can also look through the DART guide for mothers and the guide for children.

If you don't have anyone supporting you at the moment, call your local family hub who can help you.

Selection criteria

• Children must be aged 7-14.
• The mother is living in 'safe and relevant' accommodation (in summary: Refuges, sanctuary schemes, second stage (Moving on) or dispersed 'semi-independent' accommodation)
