Domestic abuse can have a huge impact on children.
Their responses to witnessing such abuse can be very different, and some are affected more than others. These effects may be short or long-term and can impact on many aspects of your family’s life.

I was very apprehensive about joining the DART group. The facilitator made me feel very comfortable. The other parents in the workshops were also very nice.
I am much more confident and happier in myself. I have learned that despite me thinking I was there for my children I was emotionally absent. I have a much better relationship with my children and they are happier. I am managing my ex husbands correspondence better. I used to feel anxious.
