Our programme work

We offer a number of programmes to help people move towards real change and understand their own, or their friend or family member’s, illegal behaviour.

These are delivered on a 1-1 basis or in a group, online or in person.

In Scotland, all programmes are delivered free of charge.

While the idea of group-work can be quite daunting at first, we know from feedback how invaluable it can be for people. Our programmes are always delivered in a supportive and non-judgemental way.

This is a six week psycho-educational programme for family members of those under investigation for online offences. The aim is to help people make some sense of recent events relating to their loved one’s behaviour and to build knowledge and confidence in relation to the next steps to take.

Breaking the links programme

This is a ten week psycho-educational programme for individuals who are worried about their sexual thoughts towards children (offline and online), but have experienced trauma themselves.

Don’t wait for ‘proof’ of child sexual abuse – if you think a child is in immediate danger then call 999 to speak to the police.

If you’re worried about how an adult or young person you know behaves around children, you can get confidential support from the Stop It Now! helpline: 0808 1000 900. If you’re not ready to speak to someone yet, you can use our live chat or send a secure message.
