You Are Not Alone.
Are you being bullied?
Are you being made to do things you do not want to do?
Has someone posted a photo or video of you online which you are worried about?
Are you being made to carry drugs and stay in places away from home?
Are you using drugs and alcohol?
Are you scared?
Are you worried someone you love will get hurt?
You may feel alone and may feel no-one will understand. We will listen and we will understand. An abuser may try to bully and threaten you, tell you it is your fault. You may have done something which you regret. You may have taken drugs or alcohol and have been told that people will not believe you if you speak up. This is not true. This is the abuser’s way of keeping you under their control so that they do not get caught. Do not lose hope. There is a way out. You are not alone.
No More Silence.
Are you, or someone you know, experiencing domestic abuse?
Are you experiencing controlling, coercive or threatening behaviour?
You are not alone. It is not your fault. It is not okay.
There is no excuse for domestic abuse. We take a stand against all forms of domestic abuse. Men, women and children can all be victims. There are different types of domestic abuse; this can include psychological, physical, sexual, financial or emotional abuse.
Get in touch with us in confidence. We are here to listen and help you get the right support.
Support for Parents.
Is your child going missing?
Are they absent from School?
Do they have new gifts you do not recognise? Have you noticed physical injuries?
Is your child using drugs or alcohol?
Are they getting into trouble with the Police? Have they been self-harming?
Are they having thoughts or attempts of suicide?
We can help you recognise the signs of sexual exploitation and get the right support to deal with such issues to keep your child safe. Sexual exploitation involves a young person being tricked and groomed to perform sexual acts.
At the start, the abuser will make the young person believe that they are in a loving relationship as they are given affection and gifts to build their trust. Gifts can including anything from money, food, accommodation, drugs, alcohol or cigarettes.
Having gained trust, the abuser can then control, threaten, use violence and force the young person to do things they do not want to do. The abuser may make threats to hurt those the love to take control over them. The abuser may force the child to send inappropriate photos of themselves, force them to have sex and even recruit them to groom other young people to repeat the same cycle.
