Domestic Abuse Awareness Week 14-20 June
This year’s Domestic Abuse Awareness Week is 14 – 20 June. The county-wide approach is to raise awareness of domestic abuse and the various forms it comes in, with a focus on coercive control. Messaging is targeted at those who are in unhealthy/toxic relationships whether that be those being abused or the abuser. Young people are also being encouraged to spot the signs of unhealthy relationships.

YUVA (Youth Using Violence and Aggression)
The Domestic Violence Intervention Project (DVIP) has a new service in Surrey – the YUVA (Youth Using Violence and Aggression) Service
The YUVA service at DVIP, a division of Richmond Fellowship, incorporates a whole family model to address young people who use abuse or aggression toward family members or intimate partners. The primary aim is to increase the safety of families and support young people to maintain positive relationships. The service consists of 2 separate but integrated services:
- The young person programme, which works directly with young people who are using violence/abuse toward their family or intimate partner.
- A support service consisting of a combination of 1:1 sessions for siblings and/or intimate partners, and a structured parents group
Who is the service for?
- Young people between 11 and 18 years old and up to 25 where young people have additional needs.
- Parents/carers, siblings, or intimate partners affected by young people’s violence/abuse.
Where does the work take place?
Sessions take place face to face in school or community centres, but can also take place remotely as needed.
Who can refer?
Referrals can be made by families through our online portal or by emailing dvip.yuva@richmondfellowship.org.uk.
Following referral, we will carry out a suitability assessment with the young person to assess their motivation to engage with the programme, as well as assess any family members or partners involved. After that, a total of 10 face-to-face sessions is offered. A consent form needs to be signed by the parent/carer before work can start with young people.
