(Teenage Relationship Abuse Programme)
Helping young people to get relationship smart.
Being a teenager can be a difficult time for many, but when young people find themselves in a relationship which is coercive, toxic, harmful and tricky to navigate, it can leave them with extra layers of confusion and self-doubt.
Escape the Trap is a programme specifically designed to help all young people, however they identify, to recognise abusive behaviours and identify the impact of such behaviours on their mental health and emotional well‑being. The programme supports them to consider their expectations of relationships and what kind of partner they would like, as well as the kind of partner they would like to be.
Over an eight week period the programme addresses:
- Young people's expectations of relationships
- Relationships that make them feel bad
- The behaviours and beliefs of those who treat them badly
- How to identify coercive behaviour
- How these behaviours make them feel
- How to identify such behaviours early in a new relationship
The programme also encourages young people to explore how being treated with respect, care and love might be experienced.
