Our Outreach Services enable survivors of domestic and sexual abuse move forward with their lives

Our outreach services are available for women, men, and children and young people (aged 4 – 17 years) and offer tailored support, counselling, and practical solutions to ensure you have all the tools necessary to make an informed decision about your future. We can provide a safe space to talk, and where appropriate can arrange for alarms to be fitted to your home or for you to have access to refuge accommodation. We can support you alongside other agencies such as solicitors, housing, benefits and social care, and can provide practical and emotional support through the criminal, civil and family court process.

For children and young people that have either been direct victims of domestic abuse, or have witnessed abuse in the home, we offer a safe and independent space to discuss what has happened and to process their emotions. The outreach support varies, but can include open discussions, play work, work on understanding and regulating emotions, and triggers and coping strategies. This will cover things such as safety and support plans, the emotional and physical signs of stress and anxiety, as well as anger management and diffusion. The work can take place in or out of school and again is dependent on the preference of the individual.
