Safe, temporary refuge accommodation for women and their children.
Safe, temporary refuge accommodation for women at risk of harm from domestic abuse and experiencing drug and/or alcohol addiction or dependency.
Outreach support for individuals experiencing domestic abuse living in the local community.
Dedicated support and advocacy for individuals experiencing stalking and harassment.
Parenting advice and support for the non-abusing parent.
Recovery programmes to help survivors recover from trauma.
Play therapy, one to one and group programmes for children who have experienced domestic abuse in their home environment.
If you are experiencing domestic abuse and/or other forms of inter-personal violence including stalking, harassment, ‘honour-based’ abuse and forced marriage then contact us for help and support.
Do you feel unsafe?
Domestic abuse impacts on all communities. If you are suffering from physical, sexual, psychological, emotional and/or financial/economic abuse, or are being threatened or intimidated by a partner or ex-partner or close family member, you could be a survivor of domestic abuse.
You could experience abuse from an ex-partner in the form of stalking which happens on separation from your partner. You can also be stalked by an acquaintance, family members and a stranger. If a stalker’s behaviour impacts how you live and your daily life then please get in touch.
You may be feeling frightened, isolated, ashamed and confused. If you have children, you may be concerned about how the domestic abuse is impacting upon them too.
You do not have to face this situation on your own. Next Chapter will support you in your decision to reclaim your right to a safe, happy and abuse free life. We understand what you are experiencing and we will ensure that we only ever move at the pace you want to go. Please get in touch if you think we can help you.
