Montgomeryshire Family Crisis Centre

The project is designed to increase the safety of victims and their children who have suffered domestic abuse by working with the perpetrators of such abuse in an effort to change or modify their behaviour.

After initial assessments, and one-to-one sessions if necessary, program space will be advised when available.

Most perpetrators on the programme will undertake a 26-week programme. The programme works at several levels and will confront all aspects of abusive behaviour. Our aim is for the perpetrator to acknowledge his abusive behaviour and take responsibility for his actions; whilst ultimately changing his behaviour. The programme, with follow up, can take up to two years.

Perpetrators of domestic violence who attend the programme will be given limited confidentiality regarding the work undertaken with them and their reactions to the programme. Staff will work with perpetrators in consultation with their partners/ex partners if such consultation is appropriate or welcomed by the victims of abuse. We feel that to guarantee absolute confidentiality to perpetrators of domestic abuse could compromise our primary goal, that of increasing the safety to those suffering from domestic abuse.

In situations where the Montgomeryshire Family Crisis Centre have cause to be concerned for the safety of any person we will contact them directly or to inform other appropriate agencies to warn them of the potential danger. Acceptance of this condition by the perpetrator is a prerequisite to inclusion in the programme.

The Montgomeryshire Family Crisis Centre are happy to receive appropriate referrals from other agencies as well as self-referrals from those seeking help.
