Domestic Abuse - Self Isolation

[Jules-and-Boo]

This is so important and it's not covered enough.

I am really worried about people (women, men or children/ young adults) who are stuck at home with someone who is abusive.

This article raises the concerns and how the risks are heightened.

If you are in this situation there is a help line.

Anyone who requires help or support can contact the National Domestic Abuse Helpline which is open 24/7 365 days per year on 0808 2000 247 or via their website [www.nationaldahelpline.org.uk]

Hopefully other people here can add further advice /resources

And if you are worried about someone, please just keep checking on them and talking to them
