Mary's Story follows on from Paul's Story and focuses exclusively on domestic violence issues.
It is not necessary for course participants to have seen Paul's Story. Mary's Story is designed as a stand alone course.
Practical workshops form part of the training event. Course participants are not required to perform role play. They will help and advise on ways to overcome difficulties.
Mary's Story was created in consultation with workers from Bexley Women's Aid, Gloucestershire Domestic Violence Support and Advocacy Project, Probation Service and other agencies concerned with domestic violence. It is written by John Bassett, who has trained professionals in the U.K. and abroad, on the subject of young people who sexually abuse, and is based on case studies and current research.
