For people who are at risk of or are experiencing domestic and family violence.

 

The service aims to reduce the risk of domestic and family violence. We also help heal the harm caused by violence.

 

Domestic and family violence include:

  • constant humiliation
  • being called names that embarrass you
  • being spoken to as if you have no value
  • threats of taking the children or causing them or you harm
  • killing, injuring or giving away pets
  • damaging property that is sentimental to you or the children
  • making holes in walls with a fist or object
  • restricting your access to money or taking money
  • preventing you or a family member from going on outings or seeing friends or other family members
  • unwelcome or enforced sex or sexual acts
  • enforced sex after an incident of violence
  • punching, hitting, pushing, kicking
  • using objects or weapons to inflict harm

 

Through individual or group counselling, we help you to:

  • understand the nature of the violence you are experiencing
  • develop skills to deal with violence
  • assess your circumstances and life goals
  • deal with other aspects of your relationship
  • improve self esteem so you feel better about yourself
  • make decisions for present and future relationships
  • devise safety plans that will make you feel safer and be safer
