Drive

The Drive Project is a flagship intervention working with those causing harm in their relationships. It helps prevent abusive behaviour and protect victim-survivors. Service users have been assessed as posing a high-risk, high-harm level of domestic abuse to the people they are in intimate or family relationships with. They also often have many needs and are resistant to change. ​

The Drive Project has an intensive case management approach that challenges service users to change. It works with partner agencies like the police and social services to prevent abuse.
