The Engage Programme has been developed by Cheshire Without Abuse, who are a Respect Accredited Organisation, this programme provides a whole family response to support. The primary aim is to increase the safety and wellbeing of adults and children where abuse is present within a current relationship. We will work with individuals on a 1:1 basis and in group support.

Engage support helps to reduce the risk of situations escalating, and provides families with the strategies to build more respectful relationships, which is paramount to remaining together safely.
