Living with domestic abuse can be terrifying for children & young people. For support contact us on 01267 238410 Option 3 to find how we can help.

A child or young person living in an abusive, violent and fearful environment is living with constant anxiety and fear. which in turn affects psychological, emotional, social and sometimes educational development.

It might be they are living in an abusive household, where the adults believe they are protecting their children from what is happening and many think if children are not actually in the room when violence or abuse is happening they won't pick it up.

They may be in their own relationships, we have supported people as young as 13 who are being hit or controlled by their partners. 

Children's behaviours are often given labels such as as anxiety or depression, or as being angry, anti social, or challenging. By focusing on the behaviour the abuse can be overlooked.

Whatever the situation or behaviour, CarmDAS specialist Children and Young People Services are able to offer a combination of one to one support, group work and activities for children and young people.  Click on the links below to find out how we can help.
