I'm worried my partner might be abusive

Know the signs and find the glow

Relationships can take work, but when the fun stops and the fear begins it’s time to reach out for help.

Abuse isn’t just violence. It is also when someone controls you financially, monitors your online activity, emotionally abuses you or anything else that controls your life and takes away your independence. Stay aware, know the signs, and get in touch if you think you might be in an abusive relationship. We can help.

How we help

There’s no typical relationship which means there isn’t just one way we can help, however, here are a few of the ways we can support you if think you may be in an abusive or violent relationship:

• Advice and guidance

• Immediate safety planning

• Safe accommodation for you and your children

What happens when you call?

First and foremost, we’re here to listen to what you’re going through and what you need to keep safe.

Then, we’ll recommend support specific to your situation – whether that’s connecting you and your children with our safe accommodation options or guiding you on how to increase your safety at home. We can provide as much or as little help and assistance as you feel is right for you.

Don’t let what you think we might say stop you from calling us. You can live a life free from relationship abuse. Our team is here to help you do that.
