Information for Professionals & Self Referrals

Thanks for finding us!

If you would like to discuss a potential referral drop us a quick email info@morepositiveme.co.uk

We accept referrals from professionals and individuals ('self referrals') for our Empowerment After Domestic Abuse Course and Rediscovering You: A Self Care Toolkit.

Which referral form should I use?

Professionals, please complete the 'Professional Online Referral' form.

Individuals wishing to refer themselves and able to make a minimum donation of £10 towards our administration costs, please complete the 'Online Self Referral for Individuals' form.

Individuals wishing to refer themselves and unable to donate due to financial hardship, please apply to our Ruth Fund using the 'Ruth Fund Self Referral' form.

About Our Courses:

Rediscovering You - A Self Care Toolkit is for those who need to focus on self care, including professionals.

Empowerment After Domestic Abuse is for those who are past the initial support stage and out of the abusive relationship. It is great follow-on from previous one to one support they may have received from other organisations.

We are happy to meet up with professionals, clients or those self-referring as an initial introduction if you feel that would be of benefit.

Info for Self-Referrals:

If you self-refer, we charge minimum donation of £10, or you can use the Ruth Fund if you have financial issues.

Again, you will be given access to our eCourses Empowerment After Domestic Abuse and Rediscovering You A Self Care Toolkit.

You will be offered face to face courses 1 month before they start.

Do get in touch at info@morepositiveme.co.uk if you have any questions. Look out for a welcome email from hannah@morepositiveme.co.uk within 14 days of your referral submission.

Info for Professionals:

You can make a referral as a professional support worker, GP, Police, Solicitor, Early Help Coordinator, Youth Worker, Teacher etc. If eligible, clients will be offered the two courses as eCourses. When there is a face-to-face course and spaces left 2 weeks before launch, they will also be offered that too.

If, as a professional, you do the referral and want to secure a space for their client on a face to face course then we charge £195.

We also offer the Empowerment Course as a one to one format at £295. This is ideal for people having to complete work before court hearings.

Please check that you, or your client has received a welcome email from us and added us to contacts (hannah@morepositiveme.co.uk) so it doesn't go to junk/spam.

Funding can be sought through Devon County Council Early Help as part of a Early Help Assessment/Plan or Child In Need.

There are further resources for clients on the Resources page. Here you can download useful PDFs including the Rediscovering You Self Care Toolkit.

Alternatively, if you have between 6-15 people you would like to refer, then consider hiring us for delivery. This would minimise your costs especially if you have a safe space to deliver the sessions.
