Anyone can experience domestic abuse, regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, religion, socio-economic status, sexuality or background.  

If you’re experiencing domestic abuse and feel frightened of, or controlled by, a partner, an ex-partner, family member or someone you live with, it’s important to remember that it’s not your fault. Accessing help and support may  feel like a difficult step to take, however there is support available and you are not alone. 

Signs of domestic abuse may not be overt or physical as domestic abuse comes in many different forms.

If you feel you are in immediate danger, call 911 and ask for the police. However if you feel able and it is safe to do so, please use the link below to access the government victim services directory to access local support.
