Domestic abuse support
Support and resources for yourself and others
Domestic abuse is any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening, degrading and violent behaviour, including sexual abuse by anyone ‘personally connected’ to the individual. Controlling behaviour can include, but isn’t limited to, money and finances, technology, and socialising.
It can often start off small, with lots of different events that gradually chip away or erode your confidence. It can sometimes make you feel that you are losing your ‘sense of self’ and that you can’t trust your own judgment or feel you don’t have the right to make decisions.
