How Yuva provide support

Yuva is a domestic abuse support project for young people run by the mental health charity Richmond Fellowship. It works with people aged 11 to 25 who have used violent or controlling behaviours in their close personal relationships (whether this is their parents, carers or girl/boyfriends).

The project helps young people stop the abuse and find healthier, safer ways of being with people who are close to them. It also offers support to the family members and ex-partners who have experienced young people’s abuse.

The service aims to increase safety and support positive relationships.
