Our LGBT Domestic Abuse Service offers:
- Individualised safety planning
We can support with creating a personal safety plan for anyone that is currently experiencing domestic abuse. A safety plan is a way of protecting yourself from further abuse by helping you to plan in advance by looking at all the potential risks. We will help you put a plan together that is relevant to your situation and will help to keep yourself safe from any further potential abuse or violence.
- One-to-one support planning and advocacy
Our domestic abuse officers will complete a full support plan with you in order to address any practical needs such as navigating the criminal justice system, applying for civil orders, problems with finances, any housing issues, supporting your children, mental and physical health related issues, and any other additional support needs. They can also act as advocates when required by liaising with other organisations and services to ensure that you are safe and that all necessary support is in place.
- Practical housing support
The service also offers practical housing support and advice if you are homeless or at risk of homelessness because of domestic abuse. You will be offered advice and guidance around benefits, housing options, safety and budgeting to ensure long term security.
- Emotional support
We understand that experiencing abuse can be an extremely difficult part of your life to navigate alone. We are here to listen and will offer you non-judgmental emotional support throughout your time within the service. By offering this support we hope to provide you with an understanding of the dynamics of an abusive relationship, how abuse can happen to anybody and hopefully answer any questions you may have about domestic abuse or your situation.
- LGBT Domestic Abuse Group Programme
We offer all LGBT survivors of domestic abuse an opportunity to attend our 10 week educational group work programme that is designed to support individuals with recovery alongside other survivors. The group is aimed at anybody who has experienced or is currently experiencing domestic abuse who wants to learn more about domestic abuse, develop positive coping strategies and confidence in order to look to the future.
