Our latest campaign
We’ve written an open letter to ministers urging them to fund specialist, long-term mental healthcare for survivors
With the Home Office due to publish its Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy, and the Health Secretary set to outline plans to improve the nation’s mental health, we’ve joined forces with over 90 charities to ask the government to make sure the mental health impact of domestic abuse is finally addressed.
Support for young women and girls
As well as our support for women of all ages, we also provide specialist online and face-to-face support for young women in London aged 16 to 25. This is part of the Maia and Lift Programme funded by the London Violence Reduction Unit for young women and girls who identify as being at risk of domestic abuse, or who have previously experienced abusive or unhealthy relationships.
Telephone counselling
For young women and girls aged 16 to 18.
Weekly chats for up to an hour, for up to 10 sessions.
