Support

Not everyone feels comfortable reporting domestic abuse to the police, and that's okay. Many people need someone to talk to and share their experiences with.

​

It's important to know that support is available through various organisations and helplines, where trained professionals can offer guidance, listen without judgment, and help you explore your options discreetly. You don't have to go through this alone - there are people ready to support you.​​​
