Domestic Abuse

Domestic abuse is the behaviours one person uses in a relationship, either current or previous, in order to control another. These behaviours can include:

• Physical violence such as hitting, slapping, pushing
• Name calling
• Humiliation
• Jealously 
• Withholding money
• Keeping friends and family away
• Stalking

Domestic abuse can happen to anyone and take place in any home. It can happen in same sex relationships and between family members. If you have any concerns about yourself, a friend, neighbour or relative and would like to speak to someone about this, please visit the Herts Sunflower website.
