‘At The For Baby’s Sake Trust, we provide parents with trauma-informed, therapeutic support to break the cycle of domestic abuse and give their baby the best start in life,’ says Lauren Seager-Smith, CEO of The For Baby’s Sake Trust.
Her mum, who Alice had confided in, had heard about an organisation called The For Baby’s Sake Trust – which aims to break the cycle of domestic abuse by offering trauma-informed, therapeutic support to both parents – on the radio, and suggested Alice get in touch.
Sam and Lizzie were put in touch with The For Baby’s Sake Trust by social services – whom they’d been initially involved with because of suspected abuse from Sam towards Lizzie, as well as aggression towards his family – when Lizzie was pregnant with their second son.
‘Our programme is designed to break cycles of domestic abuse, and help parents to safely parent their baby, whether they are in a relationship or not.
New data from For Baby’s Sake Trust reveals almost 50,000 babies are referred to children’s social care each year with domestic abuse as a factor.
