Is it time to Make a Change?
Relationships can be challenging and can make us feel vulnerable.
Our emotions toward partners or ex-partners might feel stronger than they do with other people. We can get frustrated, feel jealous, and worry when things aren’t working as we want them to.
You might find yourself behaving in ways that hurt, scare, or attempt to control the people around you and make you feel bad, too.
But it’s never too late to make a change.
Make a Change: What is it?
Make a Change is a free, local programme for adults in Newcastle who are concerned that they might be hurting, scaring or controlling their partner.
Over the course of the programme, participants are supported by a specialist to address harmful behaviours and learn to develop healthy relationships. Partners and ex-partners of the participants are also offered separate, confidential support.
The programme covers topics like:
- Healthy relationships
- Understanding the link between our thoughts, feelings and behaviour
- Understanding arguments with loved one
- Intimacy
- Break-ups
- Emotional resilience and self-care
- Managing stress
