strip What impact will my donation have?

Our research shows that the exposure to violence in the home, whether it be physical, coercive or emotional, all has a lasting impact on a child and can have damaging effects into adulthood.

 

But you can help Australian children overcome these effects by donating directly to our domestic violence support programs.

 

Our range of support services assist children and families with both short and long term needs. From providing the basics for a family that has had to flee in the middle of the night with nothing, through to specialised, long-term therapy to overcome the trauma of domestic violence.

 

These programs are delivered by highly-trained, compassionate caseworkers who have a unique understanding of the complex nature of the types of trauma that result from domestic violence and how it presents in children and young people. We will never give up on helping these children and young people to recover from their terrible experiences, no matter how long it takes.
