Hi, was just wondering if there's anyone that's done the inform plus partners course? My husband has completed the inform plus but I was wondering what the partners one was like, was it helpful? Im quite a nervous person but feeling like perhaps I could do with the help as we're now a year on and I still struggle.

I did it, it was helpful in itself and made me understand so much more about the offences. More importantly, what it did do was set me up with a network of other women in the same position and it helped me talk things through with my OH when he did his course.



I think it's great

Oh, and regarding nerves, it became very clear straight away that we were all very anxious about it x

Hi,

I did the inform course for partners. I found it very helpful. Unfortunately I couldn't do the group sessions due to the timing available and having a baby to get to bed but the woman who did the one to one sessions with me was very supportive, helpful and easy to talk to xxx

Out of interest Lee is there a time limit on the Circles one? I feel that may be something I need to look into xxx

Hi, ive just completed the inform course and i feel like it's been such a comfort to get a clear and clinical understanding of online offending, rather than lots of different opinions/comments. And obviously the advice and help from others who are in the same/similar position really helped. We contact each other most days now to just check in, see how we all are. - I really recommend! x

I also did the course. I'd already had counselling and psycho- education around the offence, but the course was most useful for engaging with others struggling with these huge changes in their lives- it made me realise I wasn't on my own- even though I was terrified about joining, I had absolutely no need to be. No judgement, just support.
