Adults

SWACA supports any adult living in Sefton who has experienced, or is at risk of, domestic abuse. There is no ‘typical’ domestic abuse survivor and every woman we support has lived their own, unique experience. That's why the support our dedicated staff provide is led by the needs of each individual.

Young people

Young people can be affected by the abuse they see and hear. They can also be hurt or bullied as part of domestic abuse between adults. We offer specialist support to guide young people through these experiences with a focus on positive self-perception, emotional health and healthy relationships.

Children

Being exposed to domestic abuse has an emotional, mental and social impact on children. Responses to witnessing trauma can vary greatly and children may have feelings of anger, guilt, insecurity and confusion that they don’t understand. Our child-centred approach ensures that these feelings and their voice is heard.
