LINX Programme
LINX is an exciting new programme that the Trust has developed through working in partnership with the Wessex Youth Offending Team that works with children and young people who engage in violent behaviour.

Following the successful pilot programme we have been successful in obtaining funding from the BIG fund to extend the programme across Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Devon and Gloucestershire.
LINX is a 12 week programme which covers the following:
- What is violence and abuse?
- Understanding why people are violent
- Learning that people are in control of their own behaviour and can choose not to be violent
- Taking responsibility for behaviour – moral responsibility
- Learning how to notice when you are becoming violent - and how to stop
- Learning different, non-violent ways of dealing with challenges
- Recognising how people get wound up - and learning how to wind down
- Negotiation and listening - how to build respectful relationships
- Rights, Respect and Empathy for others
