Domestic abuse

Information, resources and referral pathways for domestic abuse services

Introduction

Domestic abuse can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation or socioeconomic status. It can take many forms including physical, sexual, emotional, financial and controlling behaviour.

Services commissioned by Public Health

Hampshire Domestic Abuse Partnership is a multi-agency network that coordinates support for adults, children and families affected by domestic abuse across Hampshire. The partnership brings together specialist services, statutory agencies and community organisations to support victims and survivors (including children), address harmful behaviours, and provide guidance to professionals.

Stop Domestic Abuse delivers services for victims/survivors and children. These include confidential advice and support, safe accommodation, community-based support (both individual and group work) covering a range of experiences.

The Hampton Trust delivers trauma-informed behaviour change interventions for people who have used harmful or abusive behaviours in relationships. Services such as Pathways to Change and CARA help participants understand the impact of their actions, take responsibility for their behaviour, and develop healthier, safer relationships.
