Resources and help

---

No-one should live in an environment where they live in fear, feel unsafe, or at risk of harm.  

If you feel unsafe, have a horrible gut feeling, or an instinct that something is not right in your relationship reach out for support to one of the organisations below or a trusted friend, colleague or family member.  

Even if you're not sure what help to ask for, just start by saying "I think I need to talk to someone about what I'm experiencing" or "I don't feel safe at home".

Anyone experiencing any form of abuse or violence deserves to be supported.
