The Respect Young People’s Programme
What is it for?
Our flagship intervention is the Respect Young People’s Programme (RYPP). The RYPP is a 12-week intervention for families where children or young people aged between 8 and 18 are abusive or violent towards the people close to them, particularly their parents or carers.
How it works
The programme works in a trauma-informed way to help young people and parents improve their relationships and increase safety. It avoids blame and works together with both the parents/ carers and the young person, seeing them all as part of the solution. Sessions use a variety of tools and techniques including solution-focused approaches, creative work and videos to engage young people and parents.
Delivering the RYPP with Neurodivergent Young People
Increasingly parents and partner organisations are reporting that children, young people and families require additional support where CAPVA is happening and the young person has additional needs.
We want to respond to the neurodiversity of the young people accessing the RYPP, so we are in the process of piloting an additional 1-day training course on Neurodiversity and CAPVA, along with an accompanying toolkit of resources to support practitioners to adapt activities in the RYPP on a needs-led basis.
This can be purchased in addition to the 4- day RYPP training. Please contact the RYPS team for more information.
