Post Programme Support Offer
Post-Programme Support
Recovery doesn’t end at 24 weeks. Our post-programme pathways help families stay connected, keep growing, and sustain positive change, with options that meet different needs at different times.
Peer Mentor Training & Volunteering
A pathway to give back and grow. Parents who’ve completed New Beginnings can train as peer mentors or volunteer at our drop-in.
Revive & Refresh
A chance to revisit core topics from your cohort, reflect on what has changed, and keep momentum going in a safe, supportive space.
SMART Recovery
A science-based, facilitator-led programme using practical tools to support behaviour change and recovery.
Survivors
A confidential, non-judgemental mutual-support group for women who have experienced domestic abuse or violence.
Happy Homes
Practical, compassionate support around home conditions, routines, small wins, and making home feel manageable again.
Allotment Group
A calm outdoor group where parents can grow things together, build confidence, connect with others, and enjoy time in nature.
Wellbeing, Workshops & Celebrations
Specialist workshops and seasonal celebrations that help parents stay connected, try new things, and share positive experiences.
Peer Mentor Training & Volunteering
After completing the core programme, some parents choose to stay involved by supporting others who are just beginning their journey.
Our peer mentor training offers a structured pathway into volunteering, including boundaries, listening skills, trauma awareness and self-care.
Mentors are supervised by staff and bring empathy, experience and hope to the wider New Beginnings community.
Revive & Refresh
Revive & Refresh is for parents who want to revisit key ideas from the programme once some time has passed.
Together we look again at themes like trust, safety, relationships and change, this time with the benefit of distance and new experiences.
Sessions are short, focused and gentle, with space to share wins, challenges and work in progress without judgement.
SMART Recovery
SMART Recovery is a science-based programme that supports people to change unhelpful behaviours linked to substances, gambling and other challenges.
Using tools from CBT and motivational approaches, SMART helps people build motivation, cope with urges, manage thoughts and feelings, and create a more balanced life.
Survivors
Survivors is a mutual-support group for women who have experienced domestic abuse and/or violence in intimate relationships.
The group offers a confidential, non-judgemental space to share experiences, reduce isolation and rebuild a sense of safety and worth.
Alongside peer connection, we offer gentle psychoeducation and signposting into specialist services when this feels right for the individual.
Happy Homes
Happy Homes offers practical, compassionate support around home conditions, including hoarding, clutter and squalor.
We work alongside parents to break tasks down into manageable steps, agree realistic safety plans, and build routines that fit their real lives.
Where needed, we liaise with housing and other partners so that parents are not facing these conversations alone.
Allotment Group
Our allotment group gives parents the chance to spend time outdoors, learn practical growing skills and connect with others in a calm, relaxed setting.
The group supports confidence, routine, wellbeing and community. It offers a gentle space where parents can work alongside each other, enjoy small wins and feel part of something positive.
Wellbeing, Workshops & Celebrations
Alongside our regular post-programme groups, we offer specialist workshops and yearly celebrations that help parents stay connected, build confidence and enjoy positive shared experiences.
