Early Intervention Service (support for young women)

The Early Intervention Service is a service for girls age 13-17 who are experiencing, deemed at risk of or have previously experienced any form of gender based violence. We are based in the DV Hub in Guildhall 1.

This service provides 1:1 support for young girls who have experienced, witnessed or are at risk of any form of Gender Based Violence. This could include, but is not exclusive to the below:

• One-to-one support for girls who are witness to or have survived/surviving domestic abuse

• One-to-one support for girls who are currently going through CSE, FGM, so-called honour based violence or gang violence

We will be at the One Stop Shop in Kingsgate Church every Monday morning between 9:30 and 12:30.

We are also happy to offer presentations to staff members in your service around issues of domestic abuse, CSE, FGM, so-called honour based violence or gang violence.
