Domestic abuse is a deeply isolating experience. Those who endure it often carry the weight of their trauma in silence, hidden behind smiles and quiet demeanour. This silence is not a choice but a survival mechanism, a way to navigate a world that may not understand the depths of their suffering.
If you suspect that your friend is experiencing abuse, you can step in and support them through this difficult time.
We are always on the lookout for caring and supportive people to join us. Please consider using your skills to assist us in our mission for a safer, more supportive world.
