The CRUSH Project is a structured programme of group support and empowerment for young people in the age range of 13 – 19 that are at risk of, or affected by domestic abuse.
The objective of the CRUSH programme is to provide children & young people with the knowledge and tools to enable them to avoid abusive relationships, exit an abusive relationship safely or better manage their exposure to domestic abuse in the home.

The programme can be delivered in a number of different ways, catering for mixed groups, male or female only groups, or for those with specific cultural or diversity needs e.g. BME, LGBT or Disability.
