Family Based Solutions
Family Based Solutions supports parent/carers who are abused by their children in Enfield, Haringey and Barnet. We aim to raise awareness of this mainly hidden form of abuse. We support the whole family to end the abuse in the home and improve family relationships. We support families who are survivors of domestic abuse with the aim of ending the inter-generational cycle of abuse.
