Rethink Abuse

Training Courses

Tailored Bespoke Courses

We offer a range of courses alongside our general Domestic Abuse Awareness Training, because we recognise that abuse takes many forms. If there’s a particular area you’d like to explore in more depth, we can tailor the training to meet your specific needs. At the bottom of the page you will find examples of the specialist training we offer to employers. This list isn’t exhaustive so if you don’t see what you’re looking for, please get in touch to discuss a bespoke option. In addition to workplace training, we also offer:

  • Preventative workshops for young people and adults

  • Recovery programmes for victims and survivors of abuse

  • General training across a wide range of topics

If you need training on a topic not listed or outside the scope of domestic abuse, we can work with you to design and deliver a bespoke course tailored to your requirements.
