Help for You
How can Women's Aid help you?
If you, or someone you know, is experiencing, or has experienced, physical, emotional or sexual violence in the home, Foyle Women’s Aid at 71280060 or after hours 7134 4499 can give you support, help and information.
You do not have to be in an emergency situation to contact the Women’s Aid Helpline.
The Helpline is staffed by paid and voluntary workers, as well as women who have experienced the benefits of Women's Aid themselves. The self-help process which allows women to take control of their own lives, underpins the work of Women's Aid. They will discuss the practical and legal options available to you and, where necessary, refer you onto a refuge, a local Women’s Aid group or other agency that can help. Your local Women’s Aid group may also offer aftercare or, face-to-face support.
You do not have to go to a refuge or leave your relationship to get support.
If you do decide to go to a refuge Women’s staff and help you devise a safety plan for leaving.
