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 brings together local services providing free support to victims and survivors of abuse, children living in a household with domestic abuse and people who use abusive behaviour. It also supports professionals seeking advice.

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 offers community-based, trauma-informed behaviour change programmes - such as ADAPT and CARA - for individuals who have used abusive behaviour. These aim to address the root causes of harm, promote accountability, and support the development of safe, respectful relationships.

Referral pathways

If you need help for yourself or someone else, call the Hampshire Domestic Abuse Advice Line on 0330 165 112. Professionals can also call this number for information and advice.
