Domestic Violence
We can help people who are suffering from domestic violence and abuse by offering support and in some cases emergency housing.
Domestic violence can take many forms: physical, mental, emotional and sexual abuse and includes:
- Being beaten
- Being attacked with a weapon
- Being locked in your home
- Being denied access to money
- Being prevented from seeing friends
- Threats of physical or sexual abuse
Domestic violence can affect both women and men, in heterosexual and gay and lesbian relationships.
Getting help
If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse and/or violence from a family member, there is a variety of places that you can get advice. A list of helpful organisations is listed.
We can give you advice and assistance. We may be able to offer emergency accommodation while we look into your housing situation. You will not be expected to remain in, or return to your home if it is considered unsafe.
If you are a woman fleeing domestic violence we may be able to help you find accommodation at a woman’s refuge. You can also find a place yourself through the national domestic violence helpline.
