If You Are Experiencing Domestic Abuse, We Are Here To Support You
If you, or someone you know, are suffering from domestic abuse or violence, it can be difficult to seek help.
Domestic abuse can affect people from all social and economic backgrounds, regardless of age, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation. It includes any action or behaviour involving abuse between adult family members (including current and former partners). Abuse occurs when a person causes, attempts to cause, or threatens to cause emotional, sexual or physical harm to an intimate partner or other family member. A pattern of coercive behaviour can form by an individual, to establish and maintain power and control over another in a relationship.
