Abuse in the family

Your family are supposed to be there to love and support you. But what if they are the ones who cause you most pain?

Suffering abuse at the hands of a family member can be especially difficult. With your nearest and dearest being the cause of the problem, who can you turn to

The answer is that there are many people who are there to listen, support and help you.

Contacting us, social services, the police or even the nice old neighbour down the road can be the First Step to getting you away from the abuse.

Try to remember this is not your fault. There is nothing that you could do or have ever done to deserve this from anyone, especially not your family. They say you can’t choose your family, but you can choose your friends.  Find someone you can trust and you will be able to escape this situation.
