Up2U: Creating Healthy Relationships (Up2U; CHR) is an innovative programme developed by Portsmouth City Council for people who use domestically abusive behaviours in their intimate partner relationships. Up2U is an assessment led intervention programme responding to individual need, risk and responsivity by offering tailored packages of support.

Who it is for

As Up2U is a needs-based intervention, the programme can be tailored to work with both males and females from the age of 16 and can be delivered to people who use domestically abusive behaviours in same sex relationships.

When someone is accepted onto Up2U, support is offered to their partner/ex-partner to ensure ongoing safety and risk management. To be eligible for referral, a person must accept that they use abusive or unhealthy behaviours in their relationship and want to change these behaviours.

How to refer
