How Can Counselling Help?

For The Persons Who Abuse

Taking accountability for stopping the abuse lies in the hands of those who use violence.
Willingness to participate in counselling and other support programmes
Learning alternative ways of expressing themselves while ensuring the safety of their loved ones.
Forging more positive relationships when the violence ends.

For The Survivors

Breaking the secret of violence.
Addressing the impact of violence through counselling.
Learning how gender socialisation and beliefs can entrap survivors and learning to overcome them.
Enhancing their level of safety and developing strategies to cope with the impact of the violence

For The Vulnerable Family Members

Vulnerable family members include the children, older adults and family members with physical or mental disability of infirmity.
Children who experience or witnesses of abuse carry scars of their experiences into adulthood.
They learn how to recognise their feeling, warning signs and emotional regulation skills.
When help is provided to the family, it increases access to safety and widens the support network of vulnerable family member(s).
