Choose2Change

Choose 2 Change (C2C) is a behaviour change programme, designed to help people stop using harmful behaviour towards an intimate partner. With Choose2Change, you can take steps to improve your relationships and create positive change.

What is Choose2Change?

C2C is a programme aimed at recognising and reducing harmful behaviours in intimate relationships.

Alongside this, we will work with you on developing better relationships with family and friends and increasing self-respect. The ways we will do this are through group programmes and individual sessions.


Am I Using Harmful Behaviours?

Choose2Change is a behaviour change programme designed to help individuals stop using abusive behaviours in intimate relationships. Delivered in a group or one-to-one setting, the programme adapts to your needs with tailored, flexible content. Our programme addresses harmful behaviours such as:

Emotional
harm:

Verbal insults, belittling comments, or making your partner feel bad about themselves.

Coercive
control:

Isolating your partner, controlling finances, or threatening harm.

Post-separation conflict:

Using children to manipulate, making child contact difficult, or interfering with your partner’s ability to move on.

Financial
abuse:

With holding money, creating debt in your partner’s name, or restricting access to financial resources.

Physical
harm:

With holding money, creating debt in your partner’s name, or restricting access to financial resources.

Sexual
harm:

Pressuring or forcing sexual acts.

Stalking and harassment:

Monitoring, showing up uninvited, or repeated unwanted contact.
You can contact us if you are unsure about your behaviour and whether it is harmful.

What Would the Benefits Be?

The way you behave affects the people you love whether it’s a partner, ex-partner or your children. It may also be impacting you, even if you’re not fully aware of it.

Our course is an opportunity to change your behaviour and develop relationships which are safe, loving and respectful.

By taking that first step and giving us a call, you are one step closer to making positive changes for yourself and your loved ones.

During your first call with us, we will explain how the programme works, discuss what is currently happening in your relationships and consider what goals or changes you would like to make. Together, we will understand if C2C is right for you.

If a professional has referred you to the centre, we will share relevant information with them. If we believe you are a risk to others or yourself, we have a duty of care to share that information with emergency services. We will be clear and honest with you about what information will remain confidential and what may be shared.
