Situation
Domestic abuse and its effects can be destructive, yet it still remains an issue which is hidden, stigmatised and one which makes for uncomfortable conversation. We know that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 5 children will be affected by domestic abuse in their lifetimes; locally, there were 56,000 reported incidents of domestic abuse to Thames Valley Police in the last 12 months; it’s likely to be the tip of the iceberg, yet numbers continue to rise year-on-year.
Solution
Our programmes help women, children and men recognise tactics of abuse, so they can feel more empowered and break the cycle of abuse. ‘Breaking the Cycle’ – Our Community Support Programme: The Dash Charity will provide therapeutic group support, both online and face-to-face, for domestic abuse survivors who are not in crisis but are in the process of rebuilding their lives.
