Description:
The TLC KIDZ project offers support to children and their mothers who have experienced domestic violence. The project is a community coordinated response for children and mothers in recovery from domestic violence and abuse. It seeks to create a common vision and shared responsibility among services in supporting the recovery of children.
At the core of the TLC KIDZ Project is the TLC KIDZ Programme. This is a 12 week group work programme for children and their mothers. The children’s group and mother’s group run concurrently on the same week and cater for children aged between 5 -16 years old.
