Supporting Children and Young People affected by Domestic Abuse

Overview

“It makes me feel better that other people understand my experience.”

There are many ways in which children and young people can be impacted by domestic abuse; being able to talk to someone can help them to feel safe, supported and reduce risks to their safety and wellbeing. If someone needed to talk to you about what was going on at home, would you know how to respond?

“It has given me a safe space to talk, to open up, a place to feel supported, I feel less alone”
