The following three short films have been created in partnership between a young person who lived with domestic abuse , the Phoenix Theatre, You Trust children and young persons’ domestic abuse advocate and North East Hampshire Domestic Abuse Forum, in order to reach out to children and young people who are living with domestic abuse at this time.
The dramas seek to deliver some key safety planning messages, information about support available and the importance of talking to someone in order to reduce isolation and feelings of helplessness for young people who may not be on the radar of their schools or other services.
The dramas have been uploaded to the Vimeo website so that schools, organisations and individuals can view these and then, through downloading, put these on their own websites and platforms – there is no charge for downloading or accessing the videos. The first episode is purposefully short in order to try and ensure that a young person can access this in private, with the other episodes being slightly longer for when the young person is confident they have time to watch these without fear of a perpetrator overseeing this.
The series is called ‘This Family Lizzy’s Story’ and is in three parts:
The password for all is ‘phoenix’.
