We have a range of different options we can offer based on your individual circumstances.

One-to-One Support 

The Domestic Abuse Programme is available for any LGBTQ+ person who is:  

  • Aged 16+ 
  • Living in Greater Manchester or Liverpool 
  • Is currently experiencing, or has previously experienced, Domestic Abuse

 

LGBTQ+ Independent Domestic Violence Advisors   

Our Independent Domestic Violence Advisors (IDVAs) provide support to LGBTQ+ people currently at high risk of Domestic Abuse from partner(s), ex-partner(s), or family members. This includes support for LGBTQ+ people who are experiencing or are at risk of honour-based violence/abuse (HBVA), forced marriage, stalking, and coercive controlling behaviours. Currently this service is only available to Manchester residents.

Outreach Team

Our Outreach team offers support to those who are currently or have previously experienced Domestic Abuse from a partner(s), ex-partner(s), or family member(s) and may not require support from an IDVA.   

You will be allocated your own dedicated caseworker who will provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental environment where you can discuss the issues you have been experiencing and support you to make informed decisions about your situation.
