No to Violence
You can have an enormous impact on someone’s journey to safety. If someone you know is experiencing violence, listen without judgement and believe what they tell you. It’s important not to say things like “so why do you stay?” or “but what did you do?” as these questions place the blame on the victim. Instead, validate their experiences and let them know you’re there to support them. You can give them the contact details of a specialist support service. 1800RESPECT is the national domestic, family and sexual violence counselling, information and support service. If you or someone you know is experiencing or at risk of experiencing domestic, family or sexual violence contact 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732, text 0458 737 732 or visit www.1800RESPECT.org.au for online chat and video call services. And if you are struggling with your own behaviour, the Men’s Referral Service can help. Operated by No to Violence, the Men’s Referral Service offers trained counsellors who can work with you to provide free, non-judgemental support to help you understand your behaviour and what you can do to change. Whether you are being abusive, have been abusive in the past or are struggling with feelings about being abusive, our counsellors will listen to your story.
