Sam joined the service in 2016 as a part time Programme Officer and originally co-facilitated programmes to adult victims of domestic abuse on a weekly basis. The role was developed as part of a research project aiming to test the impact of a co – gendered facilitation team on outcomes from victims. Sam quickly became a key member of the team and his role was expanded to full time with the additional role of Youth Respect Officer being added. This role involves working with young people (11-18) who are displaying abusive and controlling behaviours towards their parents and/or intimate partners. Sessions are usually conducted on a 1-1 basis but Sam also co-facilitates a Youth Respect Group for some of the young people. Prior to joining the service Sam has gained experience in both facilitation and youth work from various roles. Sam is currently a member of the Gwent (Ask and Act) Regional Training Consortia and has a Degree in Youth and Community Work.
