Aftercare services for previous Nexus clients
Nexus is delighted to offer an aftercare support service called RESET. The service is aimed at adults who have recently completed their counselling journey with Nexus. RESET is funded by The National Lottery Community Fund and could be the next step in your recovery journey.
Please note: RESET does not provide further counselling or therapeutic services.
RESET is an acronym standing for:
R – Recover: We aid your journey to recovery after your counselling or group support has ended.
E – Engage: We encourage and facilitate you to engage with us, your local community and interest groups, group work, advocacy, and the User Forum.
S – Support: We support you to grow by helping you develop skills and knowledge to increase your self-confidence.
E – Empower: We empower you to take the lead, gain confidence to make decisions, and to be an advocate for others with lived experience of sexual abuse and abusive relationships.
T – Thrive: We work with you on your recovery journey, supporting you to thrive by developing interests, engaging in employment, volunteering & education and building & maintaining healthy relationships.

Is RESET right for you?
If you are eligible to join RESET, you will develop an action plan with your assigned RESET project worker based on your needs and interests. This can include growing your self-confidence through personal development courses, becoming more connected in your local community by renewing your interest and hobbies, re-entering education to gain new qualifications, enhancing your employability by volunteering, or learning to advocate on behalf of others with lived experience.
If you are interested, we encourage you to complete an Expression of Interest Form or reach out to our team to chat more.
What happens if I’m eligible for RESET?
If you have completed counselling with Nexus within the last 12 months, you are welcome to complete the Expression of Interest form on our website. This is a self-referral form and is the first step in accessing RESET.
Triage Assessment
Once your Expression of Interest form has been submitted, a member of the RESET team will contact you to arrange an initial triage appointment. During this appointment, your eligibility and suitability for RESET will be assessed. You will be informed of the outcome shortly afterwards.
Action Planning
If you are eligible to join RESET, the next stage will be an action planning meeting with a dedicated RESET staff member. During this meeting, your goals and hopes for the programme will be discussed and a personalised plan will be developed to suit your needs.
Regular Contact and Review
Throughout your RESET journey, you will have ongoing contact with a RESET staff member. Your action plan and goals will be reviewed regularly to ensure you are supported and progressing in a way that meets your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I join if I didn't finish my counselling or group support?
We are happy to chat to you to ensure this programme is right for you. Please contact us via reset@nexusni.org
I'm on the waiting list for counselling or group support, can I join this whilst I wait?
Unfortunately not, this aftercare support service is for people who have already undergone counselling. You may be able to join RESET once you have finished counselling or group support with us.
How do I sign up?
Registrations must be made through our referral form, which you can access here.
How long does the programme last for?
When you join RESET you will be able to choose your own journey. Therefore, the programme will last for different length of time for each person.
How old do you have to be to join?
You must be aged 16 or over to join RESET aftercare services. You may have been under 16 when you started counselling with Nexus and now have reached 16 and want to engage in further support, or you may have undergone counselling or group support with us in our Adult Services. Either way, you are welcome to join RESET.
Where is RESET available?
This aftercare service will operate across Northern Ireland. We are planning a hybrid approach with virtual, face-to-face and group work available. Some travel expenses are available for those with limited or no access to their own transport who wish or need to attend in-person.
When will the programme run?
We are looking to deliver sessions on days and times which suit people best. This will be discussed with you after you enrol via our referral form.
Can I leave RESET and return again at a later date?
If people wish to return for additional support, we will consider this in line with current demand. The ability to re-join RESET will depend on availability on the programme at that time as spaces are limited.
