This means we can help women and their children in a huge variety of practical ways, whether it be legal, financial, emotional or practical. Our counselling service is also growing. Last year we saw 21 clients – all seen by professional therapists. We want to stop the violence before it starts, which is why our education programmes in schools, aimed at different ages, are so important. All of our community awareness work, which includes presentations to adults too, alerts victims and children of victims to our existence and the help that is on hand.
