Why Cranstoun helps
We believe that everyone should be able to feel safe in their homes and communities. No one deserves to experience violence, emotional abuse, financial abuse or any form of controlling, harmful behaviour. At Cranstoun, we feel strongly that domestic abuse is not inevitable: it has to end, and it will take everyone in society stepping up to make that possible. We are here to play our part.
We are dedicated to providing safe, compassionate and expert support and spaces to victim/survivors of domestic abuse. Your safety, health and happiness are our top priority at all times.
We advocate for interventions for people displaying abusive behaviour as part of our vision of a world without domestic abuse. We work with people using harmful practices to educate and transform the way that they engage with relationships, in a way that centres the safety of the survivor and a belief in the possibility of behaviour change.
With every person that comes forward, every family brought to safety and every perspective transformed for the better, we are working to create a safer world for everyone.
How Cranstoun helps
At Cranstoun we have a wide range of services across the country to support survivors, and to engage with people using harmful behaviours to change their lives. We are the largest provider of behaviour change interventions in England, as well as running services specifically for victim/survivors including refuge provision and IDVA support. We work with male victim/survivors, and deliver programmes for children and young people focused on empowerment and intervention.
We understand that every case is unique and can be complicated, so we do our best to ensure you receive the support that best suits you and your situation.
