Inspiring Change

– our vision

img

Chrysalis Centre is a ground-breaking programme of interventions to break the cycle of domestic abuse making victims, families and communities safer. At the Chrysalis Centre, we achieve this by working with the individuals who have used, or are using abusive behaviours within their relationships. We challenge underlying abusive behaviours and provide education and support to enable healthy, safe and positive relationships. Central to the role of Chrysalis Centre is the effective screening of referrals to understand causation factors, including Adverse Childhood Experiences, substance or alcohol dependencies.

Working across Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, the Chrysalis Centre brings together a range of professionals from healthcare, criminal justice and behavioural change experts to introduce clinical, behavioural and support interventions to achieve positive and potentially life affirming futures.

This programme of work is underpinned by ongoing clinical and academic evaluation to ensure interventions that address abusive behaviour and their delivery are effective, safe and founded on the most up to date and validated methods.

Transforming Lives

– how we help

img

We offer a new way of enabling behaviour change through a holistic and person-centric approach. Interventions are available to anyone who causes harm and is a resident of Beds and Herts irrespective of sex, age, or risk level. We do not take referrals for Victims/Survivors of Domestic Abuse as we only work with those that use harmful behaviours. However, we do work closely with Integrated Victim Services to ensure those impacted by the abusive behaviour get the support they need.
