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
If you’re not sure, we’d always recommend you get in touch so our experts can suggest the best plan of action, however, if you’d like to learn more about the warning signs of relationship abuse click below.
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.

Imagine a world where no one has to live through an abusive relationship or feel trapped in the cycle of abusive behaviour.
