Step Up for SA is a free 9 week family program to address young people’s violence and abuse in the family.
The program uses a Restorative Practice model of:
- accountability
- competency development
- family safety
aimed at decreasing violent behaviours and increasing pro-social behaviours.
The focus of the program is twofold:
- to help young people learn about the impact of violent behaviours in the family and adopt pro-social behaviours
- to assist parents with skills to support behaviour change in the family
Young people will explore:
- being accountable and responsible for their behaviour
- making amends
- healthy relationships
- strategies to change their behaviour
- respectful communication
Parents will explore:
- safety
- strategies to encourage change
- strategies to respond when their young person uses violence and/or abuse
The next Step Up for SA program will be run at Darlington Children’s Centre
12a Kurrajong Place, Darlington
1st session: Thursday April 30th, 5:30-8pm
