Domestic Abuse support at Christmas
According to the Home Office, two women in England and Wales are killed by their partner or ex-partner every week.
Christmas can be a particularly harrowing time for people in abusive relationships. The dual pressures of financial difficulties and spending long periods with an abusive partner can combine to create greater anxiety and stress.
For children living in a home where there is violence, Christmas is not a time of celebration, but one of terror, as the family are together for an extended period of time.
If you are concerned that a friend is in this situation, or if you find that your partner’s controlling behaviour intensifies at this time of year, there is help and advice available.
