Where can children and young people get help?
Domestic violence can hurt children and young people. Watching one parent hit or frighten the other can make you feel scared. Things to remember: • Abuse is NEVER your fault • You are not alone • You have the right to feel safe • It is good to ask for help • You should never try and intervene if there is violence happening • If you feel angry, sad, frightened or upset about what’s happening at home think about a trusted adult to talk to about it e.g. a teacher, youth worker, school nurse or your social worker. If you are being hurt by anyone talk to a trusted adult. No-one should ask you to keep anything a secret if it makes you feel uneasy.
