WE WILL BELIEVE YOU
Amethyst Project
Domestic abuse and sexual violence can have devastating and long-lasting consequences. At CarmDAS, we offer a trauma-informed model of support that prioritises physical and mental health and wellbeing.
Support is tailored to each individual’s needs and circumstances, helping people to understand their rights and options and recover at their own pace.
We empower survivors to heal, grow, and rebuild their lives with confidence and dignity; working closely with partner agencies to ensure coordinated, survivor-centred care.
Our services are inclusive of everyone, no matter your background, gender or sexuality - we meet every person with empathy, not judgment.
We offer accessible face-to-face, telephone and online appointments for any adult affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence.
