“Often there will be seven serious incidents of abuse, on average, before someone will recognise that they are in a difficult relationship." Dannielle Miller
Did you know that one in three young people between the ages of 12 and 20 will report elements of their relationship as being abusive? It is proven that these early relationships can set the tone for adulthood, leading to these types of relationships later in life. And abuse is not limited to physical but also sexual, financial, verbal, digital surveillance, and so much more. Whether or not you have experienced domestic abuse in a relationship, friendship or working relationship, this conversation will help you see what's going on on a wide scale and what actions you can take to build resilience and help those in need.
Know that help is available. 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) is a 24-hour national sexual assault family and domestic violence counselling line for any Australian who has experienced or is at risk of experiencing family and domestic violence or sexual assault.
