'SAFE FROM HARM' AND 'BREAK THE CYCLE' useful advice for those experiencing racism or domestic violence

KENSINGTON DOMESTIC ABUSE SERVICE (KDAS) is an organisation based in Kensington,Liverpool which supports those suffering from abusive people.

'SAFE FROM HARM'
A service specifically for people from Black and racial minority groups and refugees.Call Gill,Jeanette or Natalie on 0151 263 7474.Monday to Thursday 9am-5pm or Friday 9am-3pm.In an emergency dial 999.Women's aid 24 hour line 0808 2000247.

If anyone is bullying you,using your immigration status to control you or behaving in any way that hurts you please contact these people.It takes a great deal of confidence to contact strangers to ask for help but don't suffer in silence.STOP the hurt and the harm.

'BREAK THE CYCLE'
An abusive person will rarely see themselves as such.In fact,if someone you care about is abusive towards you,they will probably tell you that you are to blame for their behaviour BUT IT'S JUST NOT TRUE.This is a common way of avoiding personal responsibility for being awful.
For domestic abuse problems ( and this can be emotional abuse as well as physical harm) call the same people above.REMEMBER domestic violence is a crime from which you deserve protection.
