“Why don’t they just leave?”
Leaving is often the most dangerous time for a survivor.
38% of women killed by an ex-partner were murdered within the first month of separation.
Instead of asking why, ask how can we support?

During school holidays, incidents of domestic abuse involving children often rise. Without the daily structure and support of school, many young people can feel isolated and vulnerable.
At Impact Family Services, we understand how difficult this time can be and we’re here to help.

It's harrowing that so many babies are affected by domestic abuse.
We must remember they are victims too and need tailored support.
That’s why all child safeguarding professionals must fully understand domestic abuse so they can provide the right help every single time.
