Where do they go?

There are a range of different services out there that can support women in their journey to recover after domestic and family violence.

Now, it depends what the need is.

If it is thinking about starting a career or getting into the workplace after a long break, it could be going to vocational organizations that have programs specifically for women who've been out of the workforce, and in some circumstances, they're even specific to women who've been affected by domestic violence.

It could be a conversation with a GP or a health practitioner because their self-care and their health care has fallen off.

It could be a conversation with the school or a parenting practitioner in relation to support with parenting.

Some domestic violence services actually have parental support as well.
