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 offer support:

• Advice and guidance

• Immediate safety planning

• Safe accommodation

• On-going individual, peer and group recovery support programmes

• Group behaviour change programmes for those responsible for abuse
